Judgement Day

by Kevin McNulty   Dec 12, 2003


(there will come a time in every man's life where he will be held accountable for his actions)

When the moonlight fades away and all the stars become unused
The sky will start becoming darker, people running round confused
"Is this just a short eclipse?", they'll cry, "the moon emits no light"?
Until they realise the Lord, our God, has come to show his might

"I created man", God will proclaim, "I gave you all your life
But all you've done with it is cause others pain, misery and strife
I have made it clear to all mankind that one day you will pay
And behold that time has come, today will be your Judgement Day"

"So how then have you treated others, were you kind, gracious to all?
Because if this is not the case then this will be your last downfall
Did your servants cook you mighty feasts while you left them with gruel
I will humble all of those who were proud, arrogant and cruel"

"And your riches will not save you as you see your sins unfold
They'll be thrown out like the refuse: worthless silver, worthless gold
Even angels know to fear my wrath, in that they will agree
For those that sin are cast to Hell to live eternal misery"

"So know that Heaven is preserved by me in order to be felled
And it will fall down all around you 'less my laws are all upheld
But please do not be too disheartened for the good will all survive
Whereas the ones that turn from me, all of their lives I will deprive"

    Great poem. You write with emotions and give views that not many people consider or write about, i respect this. I myself don't beleive in a god as such either. Very well done, you deffinatly have talent.

    Maybe if you have time you could take a look at my work. I'd love to receive a comment/critique from you.

    The actual poem was really good. You have a great talent for writing, although I have to agree with AI's comment. I don't believe in god, etc, and I like the fact that you portrayed him as a slave-driving, power-hungry madman, so great job.

    Awesome Kevin....absolutely amazing! there's a one of mine I'd like you to read...and comment on, if you will... "The Apppointment" (well, and any of them! LOL)

    as for your other commenters, I say, it doesn't matter whether or not you like it or agree with it, it is true. And it's not because God is evil or unforgiving, it is because He is just!

    I tried to write a poem on this same sort of line about 5 years ago, and left it unfinished and eventually abandoned it, as it wasn't good, and I found it very hard to progress with. And that is why I take my hat off to you Kevin for writing this wonderful piece of work.
