Notes About The Poem
In the line, satan will go to the fate he'd destined I see it as just that..he rebelled he chose rebellion God will give him the wages he has chosen Who said? God does not supply your requests.'

The Final Hours

Inspire lines, Lord Grant my mind'  within these treacherous turbulent times;
Misdirection now so normal, masks great evil in modes quite formal.
The forces at Dunkirk; faced death, yet shared their courage and laboured breath
As from their islands boats were readied, by good hearted folk; intent and steady
The churches filled; and so many pews, exhorting God for rescue, that made forever news!
Yet not so now, people's faith has waned, there is injured pride and every stain'
Here souls were  trampled, trust was broken; false love was a weapon truth  but a token'
The leaders are for the most part bought, In league with hell their followers caught.
Placebo hope was spun, in great webby breadth; the green god rises demanding death!
It's religious fervour stalks the streets, laughter and song were banned;  one hundred week's
No joy; no meeting, promoted gloom' a world invited into; deaths ante-room
So many who; trusted in institutions,  thrown aside. Now the final solution!
To lay waste farms, to create much evil;  engenderd war is on that level.
Their place in Hades; has been bought, by the many lives; sold out; and mistaught'
Consigned to fear much pain and strife, their doom will fall; within one night!
Those trumpet sounds, will echo around His light shall travel all heavens bounds
From east to west He shall gather in, while satan will go to the fate he'd Destined.'

A sad end to the story of life for many, Joe. I gladly acknowledge He who did the creating has the right to do the judging. May is Love, mercy and forgiveness save many from their deserved destination. Thanks for sharing, Joe. Good poetry my friend. Bill

whether there is a final judgment or not we have had whispers as far back as the 4,000 years of Egyptian thinking on the subject, pay the Ferryman coins over the corpse's eyes or the heart will be weighed by Annubis and those found worthy pass into eternity and those rejected...poof, must be something to ones life one is in the end accountable

Well said, Joe. God gives man what he deserves, what he asks of God. Fires of greed, the fires of hate and jealousy. Cold cold cold fires of Estrangement! What we hold in our minds and hearts are what we are, how we present ourselves to God. How He knows us. He will treat us accordingly.

I glanced down at Harry's comment and in the Bible it does say that hell had to be or has been enlarged. Sad that so many are on the wrong road. I like your spiritually based work. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

I'm surprised that Hades isn't full by now, Joe, unless this world is just that, Hades! Here certainly provides the recipes, now infamous is the culture, and are just waiting for us historic to pass away. Having said this. I always look for the light, although tiny in one corner of my sight. Especially when reading of this here, knowing i'm not alone, yes a thorn and a stiletto, to pen and to keep on keeping on with poetry, and a voice of concern.

In my state, the wearing of masks appears to be obsolete. I can't believe they're still trying to put it in place. We are in a worse situation than ever before; I believe more people have died from the flu or pneumonia than from covid. Thanks for your comment on my page, Joe.

So true, my friend. Even today the stupid doctor office requires mask and I am not even sitting by other people. I just take mine off and let them try to say something. As I know it, the mask mandate was lifted in my state. how dare they keep trying to enforce it.
