Doomsday Poems

Premium MemberTime Is Not The Enemy

Time has no wings
But it flies faster than bald eagles and fast jets
Time has no rings
But it is engaged or bound to ‘no safety nets’
And married with death.

We are all migrants in the depth
Of the valleys. We are passing by
Like the wind. No matter how hard we try
We will have to go
Like an unwanted cargo.

Premium MemberThe Soldier’s Covenant

A wind-induced smile greets me. Cradling the baby’s head, floccose like a ripe raspberry; I’m both filled with wonder and dread. The fragrance of the care products is a stark contrast to the latibule I’ve habituated for many years during my tours of duty. How am I to care for this fragile being when mankind

After the doomsday clock struck midnight

After the doomsday clock struck midnight...

a blizzard of blinding demoniacal
highly radioactive fueled banshees
(analogous to a bajillion barenaked ladies
raging against the machine)
barreled across the brutalized landscape
affixing fiendish scorched earth signature
whereby survivors felt like foreigners,
or strangers in a strange dystopian land
as tempestuous thermonuclear generated
sinister mushroom clouds unleashed
courtesy abominable terrestrial beastie boys
foo fighting, nirvana frankly zapped
after purportedly brilliant,

Robert Lloyd Sherriff - Australian- Doomsday Clock

Robert Lloyd Sherriff - Australian Poet, Author, Actor, and Model: American Historian.

Doomsday Clock

Beneath the shadow of the doomsday clock,  
Where minutes to midnight linger and mock,  
Humanity stands on a fragile dock,  
Counting down seconds on nature’s stock.
For we have fools, so the wise often speak,  
Holding the power that makes

My bf works in Geneva, Switzerland. I go to school in New Haven. We Facetime a lot - but it’s not ideal.

“I wanted to tell you, that it’s been nice.” I told him somberly. “What do you mean?” He asked after a moment.

“Well,” I began, “You know how I like to go down to the

We witness them walk down the aisle with dread
But we've already prepared their wedding bed
We smile, laugh and pretend
Like it isn't the end
As science and the devil at long last wed

Doomsday Clock Minute Hand

Doomsday Clock minute hand...

hovers over 100 seconds to midnight 
as of January 2022, 
which apocalyptic prognostication
established by the Bulletin 
of Atomic Scientists
maintained since 1947, 
the clock quantifies a metaphor 
for threats to humanity 
from unchecked scientific 
and technological advances.

Very thin sliver of time remains
before zero hour realized, 
but countless heroic measures attainable
prior to Doomsday Clock

Doomsday Clock January 2022

Doomsday Clock January 2022...

the most recent tabulation
signaled one hundred seconds to midnight

A couple years ago
similarly titled poem I did write,
yet looms as harbinger unless
*****sapiens can unite
one non Yiddish speaking
Ongematert wishing ye
fare thee well tonight
before betokening apocalyptic sight
'course one must go about
her/his business - right?

Rhetorical question - yet
impossible mission quite
challenging, where one
brother grimm ponders plight

Doomsday

This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... 
VERSE 1:
All claim they revering Almighty GOD,
Same time hailing graven images as their lord.
Plainly they see it no wrong;
The inappropriate way of procuring mammon.
And their advertisment is just a come-on.
Now a norm having an individual deity,
And placing hope and trust in it daily.
In fact these men can't see they failing,
Just because

Imagine

What will be life's purpose on doomsday? Imagine!
If God asks your will, what will you say? Imagine!

Both of us have God's Word in our hands, what it says?
On reading this code, who'll go astray? Imagine!

From the country of your body, if heart's exiled?
Where will then your heart's loneliness stay? Imagine!

Future is a ray of light

Premium MemberMaybe the Doomsday Is Near

People are talking about 
The new coronavirus Omicron
They ask whether doomsday is near
No one can answer
Can you
But surely a tough time is ahead
Travelling restrictions 
Will be in full action
What happens
Worst than the share market's
Fluctuatration curve
What's more 
Everyone may think of the outer space
The last escape
If not the heaven
If not a devoted prayer to gain 
Confidence,

Living With Faith Without Fearing Doomsday

I live a simple journey on own way
        sparing love values once a day
        hoping having my slice of heaven
       never expecting  to come a doomsday...
