Best Last Judgement Poems

The Roman administrators came for the wealth of our worship
demanding that I crack the church's coffers wide open
for their needs, for the Empire's desperate embellishments,
in place of gold I presented the poor
I told the onery officials that these people of our Faith
were the profits of...

Sunrise, late winter
skunk smell
turkey flock
playful otter, too.

The white heron
a great blue,
white phase,
in the abandoned beaver pond.

Purple clematis
its long-awned achenes
in globose heads
spidery, fiery, extravagant fruit!

To identify or classify
birds by
the complexity or beauty
of their songs.

And so
what is over that
ridge or hill
a sink-hole, a sand dune, a steep...

Five days of steady rain. A hurricane approaches the city. The streets are flooding but the wildlife is thriving. Every person wears a raincoat or carries an umbrella. Indoors is cozy. Movie theaters are crowded in the early afternoon. We who live alone are more...

Un-revelling Rivalry

Who am I to speak of historical rivalry I cannot contest
all the clever myriad truths conjectures and refutations
about the two masters the two foes with huge presence
when history acclaim appreciation is subjective personal 
up front and back stage up all artistic ins downs and...

I paint pictures like Davinci-Close your eyes and see the visual picture
I speak from the soul like 'Pac- can you see my visual scriptures
like Picasso- I paint pictures too
it's life in the words I speak- it's life in my literature
I put detail in my art...

From stars we've fallen,
Following a trip of destination secret.
Conspiracy of Universe 
In an endless course.
Some choices own mysterious terms.
Yet, thousands of golden signatures
Brought us in fields of a land
Earthen and wet.
We walk these paths of pebbles
With human steps,
Shapes formed for a purpose divine.
Out of this...

Revival of the gone






Sickle approaching
close to my neck,
I sense my life gone,
with an embrace to death,
One look around,
hue and cry the only sound,
Last extreme pain,
and all goes still,
I can only see,
can't feel or hear,
Weightless I can move,
End to all strife,
Death is the beginning
of a new...

I will be ready
When His wake-up call I hear,
And last judgement day is near.
I wait Your calling
Lord, without a doubt or fear,
When the judgement time is here.

What is justice you ask?
It is the safekeeping of all we task.

It matters not if it is real or intellectual property
Blind justice is not supposed to leave us in poverty.
Life and limb can be in the scales,
Blind justice is to sort through the tales.

But justice...

escape from the chair

early evening
September sun falls
in blazing glory
through a cathedral
window of the 
last judgement
then softens
to a nursery of muted hues.

I would leave 
this chair of grasping pain 
and rise up a lark 
singing and free
swoop as many 
coloured prayer flags, 
greet the gods,
for all...

As I take my poetic pencil to describe, 
birth, 
     death ,  
               earth  
                      and life.
I see a young Jason coming, screaming 
Loud, loudly in the presence of those nursing
As the  darkness walks away 
and the bright sun shines the way. 
Society and family...

A leader is to lead
To acquire the aim
To reach the destination
Where, when and how
This is not the only problem he faces
But men's expectations and supports 
And the majority votes 
There won't be a total compromise
To lead or to step down 
Is the only last judgement
Ever...

Stay anonymous
When giving some coins
To the beggars
Stay anonymous 
When helping strangers
Stay anonymous
When voting
Stay anonymous 
When one is dying
Because other people(except your family)
Are too busy to remember
Neither you nor the past
Except God 
And the last judgement...

Heaven is a place where only through the eyes of hope,
