Storm Warning, 1980

Storm Warning

STORM WARNING / C. McC. AUGUST '80 - MARCH 81. (brushpoint, b.l.)

YOU MUST FACE THE FACT
the final age of this world
is to be a time of troubles.
Men will love nothing but
money and self. they will be
arrogant, boastful and abusive;
with no respect for parents.
no gratitude, no piety, no natural affections
they will be implacable in their hatreds
