You'D Best Be Prepared

Out of the air came a voice without a face In tones as dry and level as the place Where by an alter that should have been They looked upon quite another scene Many times man lives and dies In the earth and between the skies That of race and that of soul Prepare to meet what must unfold The unremembered God they now must see When at last returned to eternity Unwilling still to bow down on that knee Complete submission is what it should be But oh no, not obstinate, stubborn, magnificent man No matter the cost - defiant man must stand until Placed with love and mercy inside Gods hands Only then does man begin to understand Side by side their faces blurred Recognizable defiance seems now absurd Filled with pity shaking with grief and fright Crying like great babies both day and night So that we in coming days may be aware that When you go to meet your creator you'd best to be prepared!

You are very talented writer. I am glad that I have the opportunity to read your work because Like the first poem I read "Liquid" I am also moved by this piece. The message is clear, the poem flows well, and you have a nice command of the written form. I hope more will read your talent on the soup. Much love, Chris.
