Chetta Achara Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Hieronymus Bosch, Last Judgment triptych, circa 1482

Judgement Day

'And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." ~Revelation 20:12 KJV 

And then [Jesus said] will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. ~Matthew 7:23 KJV


The sound of solitude
Means I am now alone,
Yet reminds me of my finitude
And for sins I must atone.

Guilt racks me like a cyclone,
For the lies I have construed 
Lay around me like a clingstone
And the shadows of hellbrewed.

A creed of cruelty I tattooed 
Upon the armored heart I honed
With every virtue I eschewed,
Now I stand before my God, unknown.

Hilda Greenhough March 6, 2025 at 7:01 PM You have written a reply to Revelation that lies heavy to the conscience. It is so complete in its damnation that I ruminate the words. Chetta Achara March 6, 2025 at 8:37 PM Thank you. Once I was lost, now I am saved. My prayer is that all come to know salvation in Jesus.
