Judgement Day

"The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. "
NIV Revelation 8:7

A void, God kissed in stormy mist
A flame exploded spreading gas
A spirit tree grew quickly, free
And built all heavenly mass.

And earth was formed from firmament
In a gaseous atmosphere
As spirits roamed the heaven's night
Bright stars and planets did appear.

War was breaking, heaven shaking
One-third dark angels cast to earth
As gods did play in wild array
Man quickly learned evil and mirth.

Floods washed away man's wicked play
And language was broken one day
For man with God's tools became fools
Tribes were scattered with confused say.

And prophets warned as man did harm
As God looked down in deep sorrow
Sick man on earth; living in dearth
As if there was no tomorrow.

God sent The Son; The Holy One
Man's flesh with God's Spirit of Love
To die on a cross save the lost
With Salvation, grace from above.

Love's connecting for reckoning
Will pull chosen spirits away
Earth's gonna burn; spirits will learn
On God's Final Judgment Day.

Judgement Day.

Dear Newell,
I liked the internal rhymes you scattered through this one, and the sweeping breadth of the the poem.  Nice.
