Scourges

Jessy James the scourge Of the west Not many out laws would pass this test A name like Dillon and Billy the Kid Became legends for what they did Nero an emperor the scourge of Rome Though cries of history The fire his own He then built a palace and Coliseum well known The place of malice And a martyrdom throne Adolf Hittler was a scourge A scourge of the Jews No biblical knowledge By usurpers he was used An exterminate no less But I digress A tool of the Sovereigns mysterious test Another scourge for the methods he used Joseph Stallin was verily accused Another of the signs Where God would use To stiffen and to chase a remnant of the Jews race The Bible a scourge and nothing less It’s Revelation of the world Despised as progress The end of time and Gods success We must confess The end of this mess Proceed to glory While other digress Putting faith they claim to the test Saving soul of the faithful Leaving others bereft.

Wow, what a well written poem! It flows well with good rhythm and is thought provoking with all the historical ‘scourges’ through time. Glad I stopped by!

Wow....how well you described the infamous scourges. The last verse gave me pause...I had to read it a couple of times to understand what you're saying. The Bible as a scourge makes me think of those verses in which scourges prevailed even in Biblical times. Is the end of this mess coming for those who are faithful...something deep to ponder. Enjoy your weekend, Sara
