Devotional Poetry

New Age or Time of the End (19 Poems)

1
The End is Coming

Preparing for the end of the world,
Really is quite exhausting;
Eventually you have to ask
And ponder the question:
"What did Christ actually mean
         by the end of the world?"
It is a pertinent question at this time.
Events are coming together that point to the end!

2
New Creation

The eighth day dawned bright,
with humanity reborn
into God's New World Order.

3
New Phase of Evolution

Illuminated through the knowledge of God,
and led by His most recent Manifestation,
Humanity has begun a new phase of evolution.

4
The World Waits

The world is waiting
for God's Promised One to come;
the final judgment.

Humanity waits
for the return of the Lord
and the world to end.

5
Questioning the End of the World

Preparing for the end of the world,
really is quite exhausting.
Eventually you have to ask
and ponder the question:
"What did Christ actually mean by the end of the world?"
This is a pertinent question at this time,
because events are coming together that point to the end!

6
Questioning Iniquity

The Gospel teaches
that a time will come when
evil won't exist.

Evil
can be defined
only by its counterpart.

If evil doesn't exist
does that mean that good
will also perish?

7
Soldiers in God's Army

We are soldiers in the army of God!
We are marching to the pipes of unity,
Advancing through the smoke of Armageddon,
We unite humanity.

8
Signs of the End

War,
rumors of war,
Armageddon's fight,
blood lust and knowledge
rampant on the Earth.

The atom split
into its component parts
melt and merge
temple,
church,
synagogue,
masque,
and pagoda
into a single bead reflecting light.

9
Vision of the Future

I look into the future
beyond the turmoil of our times,
and see the planet united
in The Kingdom of God on Earth.

10
Veils of Dogma

Beneath
the veils of dogma
the lamp of religion shines.

At intervals
a single ray may
escape the concealing veils,

that divide
God's ancient faith
into sects, denominations, and cults.

11
Artificial Flowers

Even in winter
artificial flowers bloom
their beauty imitating
the spirit of spring,
while they remain
obedient to dogma.

Artificial flowers never question
their own salvation,
and never realize
they will melt
under the summer sun.

12
Armageddon's Echoes

Reverberating
up and down the corridors
of time Armageddon's echoes

woke
humanity's soul:
roused poet-prophets

who inscribed
on crystal walls of faith
the sonances of resurrection.

13
Nationalism

Pre-Christian myths copulate,
with post Christian myths begetting
horned demons
conceived in the womb of fear.

Cloaked
in the flags of nation-states,
they descend
into the maelstorm of Armageddon,
intoning national anthems.

14
The Splintered Mirror

Shard by shard
the splintered mirror
plunges to the ground.

The countenance
it echoed split into
a thousand sects.

15
Wind of God

The wind of God
is blowing across the planet,
it is pushing before it
the forces of destruction,
and it is pulling behind it
the forces of construction.

16
Order Out of Chaos

Chaos is torn
Today does not exist
Only the future stands united

17
Entities of a New Creation

Entities of a new creation,
We stand mid-point in time,
Sandwiched between yesterday and tomorrow,
Building on new foundations,
A world in which each of us,
Is free to develop our talents,
In the service of God.

18
Religion

Shard by shard
the shattered mirror
plunges to the ground.

The countenances
it echoed
split into a thousand sects.

19
Requiem for War

Armies assemble into battalions,
armadas,
and terrorist cells
to conquer the infidel.

The enemy responds,
the four horsemen mount their steeds
and exit the gates of hell.
