Paul Schneiter Poet Rhyme

On a Coming Day

I have heard them sneer and jeer
At the devotion of the God-believing.
I have seen them mock and smear
Sacred evidences I am receiving.

I have thought to respond in kind—
To lash out in righteous indignation.
But Christ’s counsel tends my mind
And I tolerate every accusation.

It is futile to enter into debate
For they know what they know is so.
We will meet again at Peter’s gate.
Then they will know, then they will know.

Maurice Rigoler January 24, 2015 at 9:22 PM I like your poem, its flow and rhymes. I won't comment on your beliefs or theology. That I leave to God Almighty on Judgement Day. / M Paul Schneiter January 24, 2015 at 9:33 PM Maurice, Thank you for graciously accepting my poem based on its alleged poetic merits. I would probably be well-advised to avoid religion-based subject matter (politics, too).
