Barbarians in the door

Barbarians in the door: The abomination of desolation
I thought the barbarians long made their exit
eons ago, in times past
but they persist
like the roots of a menaced bamboo tree
uninvited they creep in at will
at other times they barge through the door
brazen bold uninvited
they upend barricades
and infiltrate the wind
the response from a nasty fellow
a vandal representative of terror native
when innocently I enquired
whence they came
why they remained
was simply simple
'we shall always be'
we are meant to be'
'nothing created in heaven'
'or on earth fabricated'
'can promote our retreat;
'we are the barbarians of thought'
'all that requires our summons'
'is the elevation of fear and doubt'
'we habituate eternal'
'the deep recesses of mind'
'there we are welcome'
'entertained beyond measure'
'pampered like regents'
'fawned over like silken threads of gold'
'we reside eternal'
'in the fertile mind of man'
'and remain ensconced permanent'
Fear not, all is not lost
I know what the barbarians know
I tell only those who hear
'tis possible to overthrow their kingdom
beneath the veneer of arrogant invisibility
abides fear timid
same their advent
same their departure
thought is their lubricant
thought their demise shall be
I know what the barbarians know
I tell only those who hear
Think Well
Think Good
Think One
Think God
on things of good report
Dwell ye unshook
the barbarians know I know
the barbarians see I see
Think on things above
