Albert Ahearn Poet Sonnet

Doom and Gloom

Oh, lordy! The nuts are at it again.
Their paranoiac claims abound today.
Oh! So often I heard their sick refrains
Expounding, predicting the end of days:
Armageddon is near! Sinners prepare
Yourselves! Never once have their claims come true.
The poor souls! Victims of hopeless despair
Terminal crazies, if only they knew
How ridicules they sound to the sane
Yes, sane! Those who bank on a bright future
Instead of those fantastic, inane claims.
I ask you, how much more can we endure?
Their latest claim is now two thousand and twelve.
Hold onto your bibles [laughs] brace yourselves!

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen February 12, 2010 at 8:44 AM Interesting view, Albert. Crazies? Maybe so. Maybe not. I believe in God and the Bible. I watch for the signs. Afterall, The Holy Bible hasn't published the date for Armageddon as of yet. For God's sake! If he did, everyone would prepare for the FINAL judgment. And what a rush that would be...to get into Heaven. I'm "WAY OUT THERE!" Read this>http://www.redbubble.com/people/daneann/writing/3355478-genesis-decoded Don't misunderstand. I enjoyed your well written poem. And I LOVE God.
