Judgment Day

For some, final justice of the last day here on Earth For some it is a day that they always dread We all have our ideas on how that day will be The last account of our final worth The day that last judgment is read One could say it is the final decree I for one, think it will be a short hearing for all No fancy courthouses and lawyers running around Just the defendant and The Man Upstairs Some waiting for the final ball to fall Heads hanging down looking at the ground Others knowing that he has answered all of their prayers I envision, a trap door and an elevator where we stand No long speeches, just testimony taken The Judge know what we are going to say before we get there For some the trap door, others The Promise Land For some elevator music, others will be forsaken It will be his way, fair and square Some will try to pull the wool over God's eyes on last time Thinking that they have a judge in every pocket remember now it is by His Book He is The Judge and knows every crime Because that day we will all be on his docket It will give one a last chance to take another look Around the world every second people will die And that day God does not have time to listen to another lie from you Tell it right or be on your way That is the day that we all see God eye to eye But again that is all up to you And that is why they call it JUDGMENT DAY

that was a f unny line, Danny, "for some, elevator music," that music can really kill some people!! I think judgement will take place in heaven, when all are dead and waiting for their assigned spots. And I envision a giant movie screen that plays all your deeds in clear color and nothing you do can be denied. Oddly nobody will care about judging others. They will feel the pain they caused to others(as Jesus felt ALL in the Garden) We'll only be able to focus on own own deeds. lUv, Andrea

I think you're right, Danny. There will be no hoopla with lawyers and courtrooms on Judgment Day. We can't "pull the wool over God's eyes" and we have no reason to fear this day if we carry the Lord's spirit in our hearts as we live. Very thought-provoking poem that is well composed and provides an interesting perspective. Love, Carolyn
