Revelations

[John Barnett]

Hellfire and brimstone fall from the sky
As mortal after mortal begin to die
A bright light beams above our heads
As darkness invades the lost dead
The saints of Heaven rise again high
As they march on towards the light in the sky
Souls are devoured and a few are saved
Some go to Hell while others chose a better way
Humanity fears facing God's promised wrath
At this final hour, they pray to take a different path
The gates open up and the world comes to an end
The Revelations were true, this day God hath sent
Such a devastating event for every mortal man
And a horrible day for those left to stand
The clouds darken as they reflect on their lives
Praying that God could let them turn back time
And give them another chance to surrender their souls
But now it's too late, Satan's topping off the coals
This book we read, it forshadowed these events
The return of our Lord, thus bringing the end

It seemed a little akward in places but it's an interesting description of the end of days.

[T.J. Barber]

I enjoyed it. It was a wonderful piece. It described very well the feelings of the last days.

I like the composition of this work, seems you also put a great deal of thought and even some research onto this.. I am impressed *S*

[John Barnett]

Thank you all, this piece really means a lot to me, and I am hoping to continue writing on subjects such as this in more depth.
