where are the locusts?

are we

there yet, in Biblical times.

nearing the end

of the world

as told in Revelation?

one would

think so, from casual

observance,

what with the plagues,

the fires

and floods,

the violence

and famines.

wars and immorality.

we seem to be just waiting

on the locusts

to top things off.

will there really be 

gnashing of teeth?
