Your Destiny Is Sealed

Your destiny is sealed

You have always been our loveless master
scheming and provoking our disaster
Spinning tales of Scylla and Charybdis 
Concealing truth so it could not uplift us

Contriving stories hiding true wisdom
Justice will be served when you're imprisoned 
Disguise yourself as God while casting stones
but in the end your charade will be known

You weave your legends of god's immortal
but truth will break your shackles of control
You are just a hideous imposter
Who would want to worship such a monster?

Apocalypse' veil will  be revealed
By God's command your destiny is sealed

Hello John - I turned to this entry because of the title and there was no disappointment. I found this to be well thought out in word choices theme and format layout. A true execution in its entirety. Yes, the command has always been and always will be with God. Thank you very much for sharing. Enjoy poetry and poetrysoup.

Hi John, another powerfully real write from your pen. So many people out there wear disguises, trying to fool us all the time. One by one there disguises are ripped away but their damage is vast. Satan walks amongst us, as does God. In the end, good shall win over evil. My destiny is already sealed. What shall be shall be but I shall ever walk with God. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Your friend always ....Mike.

Satan is defeated. God made sure of that. His influence is still out there, tempting us. We must not follow the ways of Satan. Our Destiny will be sealed with Satan, if we do. Powerful words my dear friend. ~ Brandy

His destiny is sealed, strange how some put faith and hope in myths and legends and those so called gods, all they do is detract and distract us from finding the truth, I appreciate your thoughtful remarks

Thanks Charles it's amazing how people put their confidence in myths and fables as if they are true, they are nothing but a distraction leading people away from God's truth. You're right we don't have to worry if we are on the right side!

A few years ago when I'd first read the myth of sirens I was led to a page about Scylla and Charybdis. It is an interesting notion how the supposed myths manifest themselves in the actions of humans. Then again, the conequences of those actions manifest in from the supreme power. Only truth shall prevail. Loved the thought provoking sonnet John. Keep writing and inspiring :)

Thanks Aditi, I appreciate your thoughtful comment, many don't realize how many false stories and myths mislead people and send them down a wrong path, at the very least don't help to reveal truth, just the opposite.

I know some humans who wear many disguises also... I am not a religious man, but I appreciate your poetry, my friend..

Yes... It's more organised religion, than God.... Also I respect everyone who follows a religion... Not for me to judge

Thanks SO there are many like you in the world, turned off religion because of very bad things done in the name of God, but I know you have not turned off of God and that's the most important thing. Those humans who wear disguises to mislead and abuse others will meet the same fate as their master, as my write shows!

I must admit I had to look up the Greek myth on Scylla and Charybdis-- a powerful write, John. Felt the intensity in every line!

No better warning could be given, John. The one who wears many disguises is Satan, and his days are numbered.
