Richard Lamoureux Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Apocalypse

Apocalypse Rising

Armies gathered going to war,
the Devil rises we're not safe anymore.

The rapture came we were left behind.
No way to escape our sins made us blind.

All of our flesh will be stripped from our bone!
God cannot help us we face this alone

We didn't believe Jesus, we're headed to Hell.
We trusted in a dark angel, from heaven who fell.

His kingdom insidious, filled with pleasure we chose.
Now replaced with pain and sulphur in our nose.

We throw ourselves from mountain tops, still we don't die.
Stung by strange demons, our insides start to fry

Unimaginable pain in the end all nations bow.
The King arrives on the clouds, the future is now.

A beautiful city, comes down from the sky.
We look on in amazement, as we ask ourselves why?

An amazing promise, the heavenly father has kept.
To the lake of fire, the rest of us sinners are swept.

Freddie Robinson Jr. August 21, 2017 at 3:09 PM A powerful view of the apocalypse, Richard. A cautionary poetic warning for the unrepentant soul. Strongly worded poem in which the last stanza stands out. Love and peace, my friend.

Chris Boskovski August 19, 2013 at 9:11 PM Great poem, I almost could fell an epic apocaplyse rising in my heart. Greatly written poem! from your fellow poet.... Christopher :)

Eileen Manassian August 19, 2013 at 2:45 PM How I'd love to have a discussion with you on this topic as I have very definite beliefs about end time events and the second coming....How I wish! Hmmmmmmm...no way to go into it here, but...lovely write, Richard. Yes...a time is coming when evil will have to be done away with for all eternity. My I tell you a story? Eileen Manassian August 19, 2013 at 2:49 PM I man was sitting next to his cozy fire when he noticed a spider walking straight for the fire in the fireplace. "Silly spider...You will fry if you get too close," and he brushed him away. Again..later, the same thing happened...Time and time again, the kind mind tried to save the spider till finally, he had to let the spider go his way...As he neared the fire...he went up in smoke. Hell is not so much a punishment as it is a purifying fire. Sin needs to be dealt with once and for all. God has tried to keep us from going there, but...we chose it...eternal separation from Him..that will be the real torture of those final moments. Even then God is merciful. Hell will not be eternal....Just till sin and those who cling to it are eradicated. Well, that is what I believe anyway! :)

Ndaba Sibanda August 19, 2013 at 12:05 PM Well, there is Hell. This beautiful poem spells it out. Great warning, great write, Richard.

Colleen Bono August 19, 2013 at 9:59 AM Love couplets and you nailed this one. How come your not at work? I know day off due to apocalypse rising right. Have a good day. Love Colleen

Alozor Michael Ikechukwu August 19, 2013 at 8:04 AM On point sir. Richard Lamoureux August 19, 2013 at 8:09 AM Thanks Alozer

Poet Tacito August 19, 2013 at 7:50 AM Howdy sir! :) Be sure to change the title to "Apocalypse" Rising. That said, this writing had a very powerful setting. Yet, what seems like a battle for the ages, can really be equal to one person's ultimate struggle from within. The battle of doing better or not doing anything at all. Excellent, once again. Eileen Manassian August 19, 2013 at 2:39 PM Oh Drake! Poet Tacito August 19, 2013 at 1:58 PM Well, according to this poem, in hell. ;-) Richard Lamoureux August 19, 2013 at 8:11 AM Thanks for catching my typo, where is spell checker when you need it *lol*. Thanks for commenting.

Mustapha Mohammed August 19, 2013 at 6:50 AM Very well crafted piece Richard. Richard Lamoureux August 19, 2013 at 7:47 AM Thanks Mustapha.

Ravi Sathasivam August 19, 2013 at 3:15 AM Excellent. Good write and enjoyed reading. Tfs Richard Lamoureux August 19, 2013 at 6:34 AM Thanks Ravi.

Red Fiery August 18, 2013 at 10:13 PM the modern world is corrupted with insidious thoughts...the poem is a warning ! Another great write by you Richard...! Richard Lamoureux August 19, 2013 at 6:35 AM Thanks again Red.

Manel Gunatillake August 18, 2013 at 8:05 PM I think the world is waiting for Him. The entire Globe is overflowing with corruption. Good poem. Richard Lamoureux August 18, 2013 at 8:08 PM Thanks Manel

Sean L Sanders August 18, 2013 at 4:56 PM Very good poem poet Richard Lamoureux August 18, 2013 at 6:52 PM Thanks Sean.

Eileen Manassian August 18, 2013 at 2:04 PM Richard....you believe in the secret rapture or is this just poetic imagery... Richard Lamoureux August 18, 2013 at 6:55 PM A little of both. Many people would like to believe there is no Hell. The Bible talks of a blessing if we warn others about this horrible place. I think in a day of political correctness no one wants to talk of such things.
