Best Day Of Reckoning Poems
Day of Reckoning
Above bleak pastures,
A cobalt coliseum:
Warriors are unleashed.
·
Aggressive brave clouds,
Battle for the dominance:
Vanquishment is vague.
·
Conquest of power,
Clash of divine elements:
Battle in the sky.
·
Sun and clouds collide,
On a battlefield landscape:
The land prays for reign.
·
The golden swords pierce,
As injured clouds hemorrhage:
Pelting the pastures.
·
With sharp swords of light.
The golden...

Day of ReckoningOne summer hot,
clear day,
It was time to deal with dirty laundry.
In silence,
with a countenance of stone,
unrevealing deep emotions,
things of necessity were done.
She hung bleached-white sheets
out on the line to dry,
then, turning to him,
her iron will broke,
storm clouds rose,
her eyes accused,
yet, all she could...

Day of Reckoning:The lightning crashed into a billowing sky,
The wind swept trees struggled to stand,
Would appear we have made mother nature cry,
Across all the hills and valleys and every land.
Nothing above the earth was safe from her winds,
No man or beast had ever witnessed this before,
It was...

Day of ReckoningTis his pity
Day of days to cry.
Day of reckoning that will be
When we all stand guilty
Before throne of mercy
Our eternal destiny
To decide
Is he....

Day of ReckoningWind lashes into me, no softer than a cat o’ nine tails.
The rope swinging like a fallen halo.
Fear of death was never resident in me, I thought I knew my final resting place,
But now. What now.
If only you had not abandoned me.
Or did I abandon...

A Day of ReckoningWood for glass the shop fronts hide in poster covered shame
And paper blows like tumbleweed in streets bereft of blame
The constant dustbowl winds of change howl ‘business now decamped’
As recession pounds familiar grounds, and poverty dims the lamps.
Dirty streets, and closed down stores, a...

Day of ReckoningThe hours they pour
Grains spotlight each moment
That plundered a life
Then lied to deny
The hours pour down
And tides do reveal
The Judge sees the heart
Hidden from men...

The Day of ReckoningThe day the trees shed;oh' my
The day the water ran
red;Bled?
The day disease

The day those that were

Sympathy?
The day we have read;The

The day The prophets said;"The
day of judgement is here!"
The day the righteous found

The Day of ReckoningThe Day of Reckoning,
thunder, and rain,
In the deluge of her teardrops,
pain, she yearned to end,
Yet, end never came;
her tears ran out,
Her soul, with the torrent,
transmigrated to drought,
Standing amidst the Apocalypse,
her silence - shout!
Somewhere in parched wilderness,...

A Day of ReckoningA day of reckoning awaits the world,
more mystical and far more terrifying.
Where we go, we all go with our soul,
To the judgment place of reckoning.
Justice for all, hope for those still waiting
For retribution on grooming gangs,
child exploitation and human trafficking,
the ground beneath moves...

Day of ReckoningCarbon started the show
for life on earth to grow
and form fossils below.
Modern man in the know
made fossil liquor flow.
Then mass combustion grow.
Carbon to see-o-two.
Waste gas discharge to blue.
Each day more of it spew.
The air choked with foul brew.
Man argues what to do
now judgement day is...

Day of ReckoningWhy can't you just let me burn?
I have to because it's my turn
My day of reckoning has come
And my pain has just begun
My eyes are open, now I see
Everyone has just been using me
No love only lots of hate
The devil is waiting, we've got a...
