At The Gate

Guns, Rockets, and manifestos of death
of all these things you ain't seen nothin' yet
The day shall come when the sky blazes in red
earthquakes rumble with massive storms overhead
To the murders, thieves, and adulters alike
When he comes on that day you'll be far from alright
At his feet judgements forever, ignorant man thinks passiage is due
He'll look down with tears and say "depart from me, i never knew you"
And on this day all heaven filled with sadness
For it has lost uncountable souls to this world of madness
I say to you carefull not to possess lust, greed, dishonor, or hate
Cause on this one day, it'll be you answering at the gate

hoppy: i really like the idea and the theme of this poem and the gate imagery is carried throughout the poem with success... some of the meter is a little awkward... try reading the poem out loud to yourself and see if you might identify some of the problems... despite that, i think it's good as it stands...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

Hey...I'm big on the "revelation themes" too. Sounds like maybe we share the same faith. Nice work on the poem, it's definately expressive. Cool.

lyricfetish: this probably isn't the place to say this, but i'm a Christian (perhaps in the oddest sense of the term)... i do like the revelation themes, but i'm really a sucker for love and dichotomies (such as "the last will be first")...

hoppy: as an additional note, i like the way you handle this theme... respectful while conveying what needs to be conveyed...

sincerely,
