Short Day Of Reckoning Poems

It is the Day of Reckoning.
Every tree, every cloud, every insect
stares at you.
Which one will you follow?...

Tis 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....

The 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...

Depressed and Stressed

Whatever I do seem to end up depressed;
Certain things about it must be stressed;
Always beckoning,
Day of reckoning;
Disasters are produced when poorly dressed.

Once sat upon on a waveless ocean
Time stood still for lack of motion
No one spoke for all could see
The guardians of Eternity
For water slowly turned to glass
Ablaze with fire, no soul could pass
And all knew time at last dist bring…
The final day of reckoning...

Here comes judgment day
The day of reckoning
Where fates are decided
And verdicts rendered
Futures lie in the wait
The drumroll of anticipation
Admitting there’s no hope
For submissions that are late

Slowly but surly the will of the lord will exist
Let the mind run wild or the body frolic with fire
The soul will always accomplish the divine command
Death; the day of reckoning gives us rebirth pain.

Can there be joy within the separation from God?
For invisible love is beyond this body mind and soul....

Carbon 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 due....

One 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 say was;
“Don’t leave.”...

All together groups are falling
Once to join upon the ground
Day of reckoning concerning
None recalls the former crown

Suddenly we change forever 
Band together all agreed
At once to jump the tree
We join the earth delirious

A season like a day from slumber
Another generation numbered 
Greater purpose growing skyward
Sleeping Aspen marks a ring

In the course of
Life's busy pace,
There comes
A day of reckoning,
When life,
in collusion with time,
Pulls back our reins
compelling us to stop
and take stock of our situation.

Sometimes life yanks us back
from the threshold of success,
Sometimes a few steps away
from the edge of the precipice.

But something good always
comes out of every situation.

It behooves us
to be patient
And trust the process
to find out what that is....

The 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 blade of grass - sprout, 

Gently she touched, 
the green blade in the sand, 
‘The Creation of Adam’, 
her creator’s hand?...

Passive dismissal snorting
say common poet boring
Thou Lord you’re adoring
imagination you’re in

Threaten me with a day of reckoning 
your belief continues to project
but like you I was made by him
and he made me perfect

So as you write and whine 
sucking up so sloppy
he knows yours and mine
you don’t know how God see

You know no better
than any in this subject 
you’re just another nutter
stringed church puppet...

Feed the mind,
It’s so cluttered,
Left behind,
I’ll murmur to you,
Feeling the truth,
Left inside,
I’m along for the ride,
Tonight we release,
This night, full of peace,
Freedom drips,
From every pore,
Feeling sore,
From past wounds,
It’s coming soon,
The day of reckoning,
The day of decision,
Destiny rides with us,
Dragging us along,
We’re never wrong,
We need the resolution,
We need a revolution,
Rise up,
Refuse all you know,
To live,
Just live....

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 gladiator:
Obtains victory....

Share this grave with me tonight..
You know I hold this place for no one else..
I misplaced myself inside your eyes..
Now I feel that the day of reckoning must come..
I will come swift and silent and lay love within your veins..
Into the darkness I will disapate but you know where I reside..
Inside my mind flood with thoughts of you..
Please, take my hand..I refuse to lose you..
Neither one of us will go hungry tonight..
Feed me your love and I will sell you my soul...

Prowling eyes in the dark
Lit with the flames of hell
Seek fear crippled souls
To feed on with razor sharp fangs

Clad in the shadow of death,
It howls from the Hillcrest
With saliva drooping from its jaws
And talons dug into the ground.

Eyes fixed on each side of its head
And legs soaring above the ground.
It  resides in the moon,
Watching and waiting.

The day of reckoning is here,
Its name has been forgotten
Yet the beast of Nigeria
Will roar once more....

Karma one day we all must face.
For judgement day we now should brace.
Our collective greed  -  a disgrace.
Clever, we were thinking we’re ace.
But Mother Nature we debase
And pollute the whole of the place
Then try to cover up the trace.
We now are in a reckless race
As mammon we always embrace.
We are now running out of space
So that wildlife we must displace.
But sadly we cannot replace.
For judgement day we now should brace.
Karma one day we all must face.

A doomsday prepper braces himself
          for an impending "Armageddon"

    In stubborn his mind; which is irreversibly 
 made up, the end of the world is drawing near. 

     He's taking extreme preventive measures
       as he prepares for the day of reckoning.

  Some folks in the neighbodd think he's out there;
      gone crazy like a fox. He couldn't care less.
