it's not original, but here's some Yeats:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer; 
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; 
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, 
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned; 
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. 
Surely some revelation is at hand; 
Surely the Second Coming is at hand. 
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man, 
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, 
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. 
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, 
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Original Message War games shaking hands
hugging starched cloth
with deft pats
and clinking crystal
goblets mixed in dark rooms
Cuban cigars pluming
delicate meals for sensitive stomachs
deals for rivers of hemoglobin
pour toxins into and over
elements across
the planet called earth
babies consumed by hunger
ravens picking
brain stems
mothers gnawing arms
substance raw bellies
ripped raw,
faces slapped raw,
legs burned raw,
bombed raw,
pulverized raw,
steamed raw,
while pornographic flashes
death wishes
destroy the soul
meister manufacturers
snakes, serpents and dragons
cold blooded assassins
gloating smacking lips
gleeful cheer terror
explode, blood
bomb, brains, intestines
scream, scream, scream
they cheer for the home team.
hiding, we can see you.
undercover, we can see you.
in your darkness, we can see you.
the reckoning is now.
your reign of terror
here
now
ends.
