Last War

Nuclear explosions;
    Dead bodies litter the streets
Weeping and wailing

The world is on Fire!
    Angels prepare for battle
The Beast stands ready

Cities in rubble
    From mighty earthquakes; there is
Not a place to hide

Rivers of blood flow
    The end of the world is here
Prophesy come true...
               .........
for Gail's Armageddon contest

Like a thief in the night He will come...Joe, u spelled out the scenario with finesse! I am thinking up an entry from a dream I had when I was 14 yrs old...It makes me have a pretribulation rapture view of these events....I am no Bible scholar tho. Gotta say one thing,....the last haiku is dead on! Great write. Happy Dad's Day to you! Gwendolen
