Scourges

Jessy James the scourge
Of the west
Not many out laws 
would pass this test
A name like Dillon and Billy the Kid
Became legends for what they did

Nero an emperor the scourge of Rome
Though cries of history
The fire his own
He then built a palace
and Coliseum well known
The place of malice 
And a martyrdom throne

Adolf Hittler was a scourge  
A scourge of the Jews
No biblical knowledge
By usurpers he was used
An exterminate no less
But I digress
A tool of the Sovereigns
mysterious test

Another scourge
for the methods he used
Joseph Stallin was verily accused 
Another of the signs
Where God would use
To stiffen and to chase 
a remnant of the Jews race

The Bible a scourge and nothing less
It’s Revelation of the world
Despised as progress
The end of time and Gods success
We must confess
The end of this mess
Proceed to glory
While other digress
Putting faith they claim to the test
Saving soul of the faithful
Leaving others bereft.

Wow, what a well written poem! It flows well with good rhythm and is thought provoking with all the historical ‘scourges’ through time. Glad I stopped by!
