The skies open up
What was light has turned dark
Clouds turn red like blood
All clocks have stopped
Judgement Day
The time has come
Nowhere to run nor escape
Very hour
Began on precise schedule
People on Earth tremble
Shouts of spare
Earth faces showed fear
The Earth will become no more
Heaven keeping score
New Earth thereafter
Cold hearts relish hot
Prophecy foretold prior in biblical terms
Earth was warned well in advance
The world was given a chance
Earth judgement is here
Tongues will confess
Some will fail while others will prosper
Earth will move like an Earthquake
Heaven’s sake
World fate
The skies look up and observe
Having no relief
Pity on the world at hand
Wait and be among
Doomsday passage, the world has entered.
And suddenly the world stopped spinning,
its colours faded away one by one deplorable.
People disappeared and all became eerily quiet.
A loneliness I'd never felt grew most unbearable.
1 2 3 4 let’s have a holy war
5 6 7 8 seed hate and propagate
9 10 11 12

The system is failing us
We thought we were protected
Now we see how vulnerable we are
There is no going back
We're falling fast and there's no net

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.
Time is nobody’s enemy
Be smart to lend a hand
To a stranger, for no real friend
Exists in this messy quagmire
Where everything is strange and dire.
We really own nothing
We are all living on borrowed time
We shall pay for the crime
Remember that we own nothing
Yet we keep on fantasizing and dreaming.
Time, which is not an enemy
Owns everything under the sun
And everything under the blue moon
FYI: Nobody has returned from Heaven
Not even the wisest angel of the deep blue Sea.

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 is hell-bent on extirpation? The eminent threat is daily updated on the Doomsday Clock. Paradise razed by conflagration like the residue of a charred batch of jam: irredeemable! I can but sigh while I vow to protect him and his mother to the best of my ability.
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

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 that has passed the source
Immortal with time's curvable ray! Imagine!
The forehead that bows to God will be infidel
You'll protect your belief; neglect pray: Imagine!

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, courage and hope
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...
No more civility! For now, before that historic doom,
To fathomless, dark perdition let’s hurl their big-assed b.i.t.c.h.e.s.*
For such filthy creatures on earth there ought to be left no room.
These shameless global terrorists that in quest of dream riches
Have settled in the Middle East for almost a hundred years
Now with Heaven’s sure assistance we shall cast into ditches.
They ascribe to us their own name and the sleeping world that hears
Approves of their barefaced slaughters — regrettably — and terrors.
No more tolerance! Let’s show them what then in both hemispheres
Real terror is! Cows of the world do not see the grave errors
In the nuclear conventions. They have lost a dearest horse
But ignore the beast and look for its saddle. What peace-carers!
Arms are deemed bad but who on earth has ever exerted force
Against the red-handed butchers who possess them and use them?
No more delay! Mercy on them shall surely lead to remorse.

* Mike Pompeo, Mike Pence, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Arab petty puppets
No comments, please!
The sun burned bright before the dawn
The moon winked twice, and then was gone
It rained down snow amidst the heat
Unnatural, discord's drumbeat...
Pets walked their masters to and fro
There wasn't any place to go
Attractions closed, most shops shut down
Where once were smiles, now only frowns...
TV's news shows just yammered on
Folks turned away, suppressing yawns
Hid in their rooms, and played their games
The world they knew, now up in flames...
The world collapsed at eventide
Its soul gone rotten from inside
