Joseph May Poet Ballad

Babylon

The throne of babylon is falling
their gold is melting  can you hear them bawling
fire is burning hot as hell
some can neither buy nor sell

the mark in their hand they do not dread
half of them have it in their head
the beast they worship is the evil one
his armies gather at armageddon

its all in the bible and shall come to pass
the world awaits the nuclear blast
the throne of babylon is falling
their skin is melting they keep on bawling

 Will they rue what they've sown, before this last reaping
tears drip from their souls as children lay weeping
His full wrath was poured out, the judgement had come
a new world was birthing, the mystery was done

It is really good, Joseph. It is so interesting to notice your comments from poets not here any more. Makes me wonder what became if them. I know dear Harry passed away .

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 18, 2017 at 3:24 PM A powerful debut poem, Joseph. The truth bespoken will surely come to pass. Babylon is fallen, Babylon is fallen. God's judgment came a-calling. Hear them all bawling. Wonderful poem. You speak as one who possess the oracles of God. Your mighty poem is duly noted as well by me. Love and more love to you and yours.

Vince Suzadail Jr. May 24, 2012 at 3:12 PM Interesting write. There is another more hopeful ballad in the "Rivers of Babylon". I actually believe we are headed in the direction of your poem.
