Best Prophesies Poems


Premium Member Mankind's Greatest Mystery (Inspired By Chris Higgins)

If 2012 prophesies prove true
And Earth’s life cycles again renew
Mysteries of man will be more than a few

Challenges may await future life forms
With intellects far surpassing our norm
Created to live without doing harm

For if they decipher man’s history
What will they make of our great mystery
The one we refer to as bigotry

Black labs, gold retrievers live side by side
Wild stallions and mustangs on prairies ride
Both red ants and black, free to colonize

Man’s refusal to accept differences
To wiser beings may make no sense
What in man’s makeup can give it credence?

Earth’s subsequent creatures may reproduce
Not needing two sexes to call a truce
So mating rituals may be pursued

A single-sex species might not comprehend
Why women workers were paid less than men
And why “free speech” was not just a given

Questions would most certainly arise
How a believer in God denies
Rights to free worship without compromise

And how could so many wars be waged
Evoking God’s name in death-march crusades
With killing, torturing in every age

Indeed such mysteries in man’s history
Would leave a perplexing legacy
Sure to confound any new species

New cultures may thrive on diversity
Of religion and genealogy
And speak of our inferiority


Note:  This is dedicated to Christopher Higgins whose poems about prejudice inspire readers 
to do more than just think about one of the greatest ills in our society.

Should doomsday prophesies prove true
     and our planet’s life cycles renew
          mysteries of “people” will be more than a few

Provocative questions may await future life forms
     blessed with intellects surpassing our norm --
          creatures who live without doing harm

If they decipher man’s history
      what will they think of our great mystery --
          the one we refer to as bigotry

Black labs, gold retrievers sleep side by side
     wild stallions and mustangs on prairies ride
          both red ants and black, free to colonize

More-evolved species might not comprehend
     how women workers were paid less than men
           and why “free speech” was not just a given

Questions would most certainly arise
     how any believer in God denies
          the right to free worship without compromise

Indeed such mysteries in man’s history
      would leave a perplexing legacy
          sure to confound any new specie

New beings may thrive on diversity
     of religion and genealogy
          and speak of our inferiority

Oratory - Power of the Spoken Word

As words escaped constricted passage
of time from eons of layered myths,
legends of demi-gods thus linked,
in glowing rendition, with whisk on hand
the Orator with staff, sang the Eel to slumber.

As words from parched lips of orchids, flowed
dispersing sweet juices germinating dense spheres
of time in which history was packed in roots,
armed with psalms in measured cadences,
the Orator soothed kings and chiefs.

As words of our ancestors oiled and pampered
by prophesies of aging oracles, songs of lovers
and monotonous chants of old men...slithered
into hiding while physical wars waged, succinctly
the Orator proclaimed the heroic pursuits of warriors.

As words, precision in recitation of kinship ties 
craftily sewn by political machinations of unions
vital for survival of race waltzing in purity of blue
when blood flowed thru veins of aging rocks as
the Orator cemented pacts chanting tribal honorifics.

As words, imageries of sky bursting, moon phasing sunsets pertaining to legends of my village heroes,
sweet nectars that put rhythm in his art of tongues
inspired by fruits from my garden, mine own words
the Orator in action, was he infringing my copyright?

As words, our heritage orally passed down in poetry,
set imageries prohibiting meddling with sources,
set quotations where time absolved breaches of patent,
plagiarism, for traditions dictated that the word be
secured in a cocoon of oratory ferried down the ages
by the dynamics of cultural rites and rituals.

the Orator, blessed not only as the spiritual Vessel 
...but now deemed as the Spoken Word incarnate.


Premium Member A Promise To God (Co-Written With John Moses Freeman)

Come December 21, two thousand and twelve
On the winter solstice, mankind may burn in hell
As man's Creator, I've sent multiple warnings
Nostradamus, the Mayans, Hopi Indians
All believed there was still time to reverse this course
But My warnings have ceased, even My voice grows hoarse
 
     Dear Father, my sacred heart is of course willing
     Though mind be the enmity of Christ's blood spilling 
     My center most being, with Your spirit's all seeing
     The sacrifice of Your son saves souls of all beings
     Father, though slay my flesh, Thou hast immortal stash
     For Thou has the Adamantine, the adamant cash
 
This is not the response I expected from you
My warnings so long unheeded have made me blue
You are my children and I vow to save your souls
But to save your flesh, you will have to meet these goals
Let the evil wars end, allow nature to thrive
Cast aside all notions of greed to stay alive
 
     I shall heed with God speed to sow the righteous seed
     My love will manifest, for 'tis my soul's main heed
     I shall present my flesh body as this soul's alarm
     I shall not conform, from this world I shall transform
     Holy acceptably my receptacle sin free
     By my renewed mind transformed by Christ's mind shall be
 
I will spare your flesh if your words prove to be true
In turn, dire prophesies I promise to undo
Encouraged am I to hear you express remorse
It was never My wish to take action so coarse
To save body and soul, I sacrificed my Son
It has been My wish that all men will live as one

     Forgive Father, so shall I speak just this once more
      As Thou has given thus this world for to explore
     ‘Twas a parasite seed from derivative mind's greed
     Brought forth by chance, a wild branch, doeth Thou not concede
     Purgeth my wild branch of chance, ‘tis your right to do
     That I might pursue Your true vine, my love be true

Holy Art Thou

Son of God
Lord
You are:

Oracle of peace
wise counselor
source within the living waters

That breathes life
into insightful predictions
of our future holdings

Son of Mary
With grace and mercy
one regal descendent of David

A sacrificial birth born
under the shadow of the cross
the Son of the most high

An eternal ruling Monarch
whose loving touch precludes no man
behold our King has come

Immortal spirit of divinity’s
Fulfilling the prophesies
divinely anointing our Prince of Peace

Truth held under Christian virtues
through the portal our great Father
forever speaks within, Amen

Stars form patterns to Ancient's Zodiac.
Creatures emerge, especially the snake.
Mayan watchers see the serpent go back,
Back into the earth at Equinox break.
What portends, only prophesies can make.

Past the temple is Astronomer's dome.
There prophets see futures where the stars roam.

Pray For the Day

Pray for the day...of deliverance

Verse 1
She shares a piece...of meager bread,
with her three children, at her side

She stares in disbelief, and dread,
with no future, coming into sight

She prays she'll see...another day,
and, find the will, to keep up the fight

She knows so many...of the dead,
hapless victims, of a genocide


Bridge
Can you believe...relief will come
and wash away all of the pain?
Just like darkened clouds that satisfy,
the, thirsty ground, with the rain

Chorus
So, can you see, all that I can see,
fulfillment of the prophesies...
Build your faith by your diligence
Pray for the day...
Pray for the day...of deliverance


Verse 2
He sells his wares, in the marketplace...
helping his family, to survive

His two sons, help him find the way,
they all thank God, just to be alive

With beads of sweat, dripping down his face
he, detonates, letting out a cry

The fighter, somehow, is quickly replaced,
by the ideology of suicide


Bridge
Can you believe...relief will come
and wash away all of the pain?
Just like darkened clouds that satisfy,
the thirsty ground, with the rain

Chorus
So, can you see, all that I can see,
fulfillment of the prophesies...
Build your faith by your diligence
Pray for the day...
Pray for the day...of deliverance

Vs 3
It's just another day at Columbine
but still, many people, remember

School shouldn't be something, to survive
like, April twenty, and fourteenth, of December

No place is safe... even for adults,
like, dancing on a summers eve, in June

The night Orlando... lost it's pulse,
with, 49 souls gone too soon

Bridge
Can you believe...relief will come
and wash away all of the pain?
Just like darkened clouds that satisfy,
the thirsty ground, with the rain

Chorus
So, can you see, all that I can see,
fulfillment of the prophesies...
Build your faith by your diligence
Pray for the day...
Pray for the day...of deliverance

Pray for the day...
Pray for the day...of deliverance

Pray for the day...
Pray for the day...of deliverance

Premium Member A Fundamental Concern

I am aware of the dangers of being judgmental 
When it comes to the so-called celebrity “faith leaders” 
However, calling them out, in my opinion, is elemental. 

I cannot understand how they can bathe themselves in luxury  
Talking about the lowly Jesus and his teachings 
At the same time, milking those living in abject poverty. 

While most of the world’s population are hungry and cold 
These perfect examples of hypocrisy and opulent greed 
With novel political connections become increasingly bold. 

Television evangelists have access to the homes of the masses 
Selling listeners worthless, blessed doodads and trinkets 
Under the laws for religious exemption, avoid paying taxes. 

Astonishing statistics revealing some of their astonishing worth 
Make me question whether some of these “preachers”  
Would consent to their own life-changing regenerative rebirth. 

Their finances come from those least able to contribute 
Whose hard-earned money winds up in their deep pockets 
But this, you can be certain, they will hasten to dispute. 

One of these evangelists is said to be worth over $40 million 
Travels in his own airplane, preaches a prosperity gospel 
His palatial home (he owns two!) is worth over $10.5 million. 

The richest “man of God” I will not name--might get sued, 
But, it is said he is worth over $300 million dollars, 
Flies in his three private jet planes, sometimes comes unglued. 

Beware, beware the nefarious dealings of these rich hypocrites 
Whose nebulous prophesies over time have never come true 
They will surely be held accountable for their media-age blitz.

Prophesies by seers may be derided and prophets may be lampooned. But time may prove them right"   By Poet.

There was none to listen to him. 

His words were like: 

-A cry in the wilderness
that broke and shattered on woody trunks.

-The howl of a lone wolf
that rose in the dead of the night.

-The cry of an infant
that told the world, it was hungry.

-The cacophony of discordant orchestra
that left a jarring effect on the listeners.

His words sounded meaningless, 
to a world that spoke a different tongue.

With no receptacle, his words like heated waters
evanesced into vapour and billowed upwards,
like coils of smoke to freeze into clouds.

One day it rained down, 
quite unexpected…….

with thunder and lightning!

The Cradle and the Cross

The Cradle And the Cross

” 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”  Matt 1:20-21 NIV

The cradle of Christmas
Has no meaning without the Cross.
The babe we celebrate at Christmas
Was born to win us back from loss.
Part heavenly yet part human,
This gracious Christmas gift,
Was given to save mankind;
Redeem the God-mankind rift.

The Cradle and the Cross
Show us God’s great love;
Reveal his glorious power
And his life over death from above.
They give us great hope for a future—
A hope that cannot die.
When we acknowledge the Cradle and the Cross;
Upon Christ’s life and spilt blood we rely.

From Christmas to Easter
We’re reminded of the Cradle and the Cross;
The sacrificial life of God’s Son,
That his own people sought to toss.
The Cradle and the Cross
Were prophesies of old.
God’s child was born unnoticed by most,
Yet worshipped with incense, myrrh and gold.

The Cradle and the Cross
Bring forth glorious hope;
Show us that there’s nothing
Beyond God’s power and scope.
They give us reason for joy
And peace in our hearts to reign.
May the goodwill of Christmas
Be with all on earth to proclaim!

Premium Member The Rest Is Yet To Come

Isaac Asimov wrote of scenarios unimaginable 
   Robot companions and industry-wide takeovers
His 1940 classic, "I Robot," is now quite actionable
   If anything, a bit outdated, ripe for a make-over

In the 1950's we marveled at the audacity
   A woman totally oblivious, a 'seashell in her ear'
Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" fantasy
   Today is surely audible, easy to hear

We couldn't believe his notion of 'entertainment walls'
   Now we mount flat screens in living rooms and on stores in the mall
No way, we felt, that real-life 'firemen' would ever burn printed books
   ~ Yet those very kind of books are now being replaced by digital looks

Yesterday's science fiction is flat-out routine today
   Pay attention to new prophesies ~ they're already well on their way

Reptilians and Hybrid Humans

Genetics and freaky things.
Reptilians and hybrid humans’ DNA.
A demonic blending of the past and the future present.
I say “future present” because it is here now and it is here to stay.
Forever. 
Forever until Armageddon when the LORD’S ARMY kicks satan’s ugly minons to the pits of hell.
Critics.
Skeptics.
They scan over all of the prophesies.
Name calling and counter bidding.
They say it’s all a big hoax.
“You’re just a bunch of conspiracy theorists,” they argue.
A word made up for their own excuses at the end of time.
A label created ahead of time to placate the masses while they lure us to drink their lemonade.
Welcome to their little paradise of freak shows.
Freak shows and masquerades and sipping on the blood of innocence.
There is no end in sight in their blood-thirsty brains.
They sip on their expensive champagne while the poverty gap broadens more than the Aegean Sea. 
John wrote of this at Patmos.
He saw the dragon and he saw the beasts.
This is the situation that we are finding ourselves in at this late hour.
The COMING OF THE KING!
Repent and Prepare for the Messiah, Jesus Christ!
Live holy in order to escape all of these demonic freak shows to ensnare our souls and drag us to hell with them.
Reptilians.
Reptilians mixed with human DNA.
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ!

The Commuter

Faith my professor
once said
is like a train
driven on rails
of written truths.

The truth, I ask..
you have lectured 
on wars and famines
the Jewish holocaust
and Old Testament prophesies.

The professor and pastor
smiled and stated
everything will be fulfilled
when the Christ returns
a truth mentioned in the Gospels.

I asked kindly
is faith a leap
like off the Grand Canyon?
he reached out and handed me
a schedule of Bible classes.

Faith is a lifelong commute
plenty of time to change
the television station
relive the past
consider the future.

A beautiful Hispanic girl
gave me a Bible
wrapped in plastic
just before that
an old woman
driving a Lincoln

rolled over a flowerbed
good people around
all frowned
with  insults
only to be consoled by the pastor..

An Almost Endless Night

Something stirring, twisting, darkening in my mind
I wake to see myself through the faded windows of time

Still in this place of cold metal and stone
For too long now it seems that’s all I have ever known

So now I lie down and wait for tomorrow’s next big fight
Knowing in my heart an end to an Almost Endless Night

Crowded, Shrouded faces everywhere
Eyes growing cold from nothing left to share

Shackled down by the weight of their own enormity
Without Grace from the one their souls twist to deformity

But to those that believe a new dawn springs light
And an endowment of strength to challenge this Almost Endless Night

For a life unbecoming a man such as me.
A family awaits him patiently to see what he will be.

No longer wishing the road that desire brought him down.
Wants of the flesh give way to Gods, a harder road is found

A multitude of apologies never uttered to this plight
And never again shall I go down into this almost endless night

Exiting, vexing my mind screams freedom
In my minds eye I see the banner of Gods kingdom

Knowing that now all the prophesies ring true
Of freeing all the captives, the door I go through

Will take me now from this lands painful blight
And enter me now into the Sun of his never ending light.
