Fraction of Action

a fraction of Gods action is what the world needs
gonna send the wicked packin...bring the worthless to their knees...

action follows thought as quickly as thunder follows lightning
struck stupid with shock and stunned in awe are the fiends who keep on fighting
grabbin for gold on the backs of the bruised...going for broke with nothing to lose
stealing lost souls like subliminal criminals...with focus that's fatal they maximize the minimal
God watches and He waits
He shakes them to their deaths...He can hear their empty pleas
A fraction of Gods action is what the world needs

shadows turn into spotlights as hellions keep hiding
riots turn into revelutions...from the toe of the boot to the threat of the bullet
with holy hands on lunatic levers...righteous ones pull it
driving the damned...darkness swallows the doomed
because heaven's for faithful and hell is for fools
used like tools now they're crushed into dust...ashes to ashes the masses get mushed
like a volcanic rush...burning and bashed in fire they bleed
a fraction of Gods action is what the world needs

devils and demons keep running to refuge
now they pay for their sin by the ones they abused
recycled,reused,demolished and destroyed...
their time runs out like wind up toys
getting yanked from the ground like wicked weeds
the clock on the cross it stops and screams....
A FRACTION OF GODS ACTION IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS

Awesome poem, Anthony. I love the way you talk about the stealing of lost souls and the "subliminal criminals" who "maximize the minimal." Gret internal rhyme there by the way. And I couldn't agree with you more that the world needs "A Fraction of God's Action." Very powerful writing! Best wishes, Carolyn
