A picturesque sunset, marred by streaks of gray
Shine down on the children
Dancing on his grave

Maybe they're unknowing, maybe they don't care
Maybe they are faithful, maybe they dispair

The phrophet speaks of revelation
Crying to the heavens in frustration

Tithe me, Son, your paycheck
It is mine to hold
Deliverence for Christmas
God is bathed in gold

Byzantium has been destroyed
Babylon is burning
Tha archangel stands to guard these gates
Flaming sword is yearning

A mask of untold perfection, scarred by tainted claws
Poison seeps, and it keeps, discovering the flaws

Celtic curse, a heathen verse, or flogged like Opus Dei
Boring blight, this painful plight, are you going to be saved?

Stand upon the front-lines, banners surely waving
Exhalting your own sainthood upon the multitudes you're saving

Maybe you are Chritian, maybe the Anti-Christ
Can an Atheist save you?, Who's to know the wise?

A shard belonging to the cross, picture on a shroud
Word engraved upon a rock, dare you voice these fears aloud?

Dead men speaking from the words on a page
Knowing that if Jesus comes you will not be saved

like reading into a lost forbidden tome, your words stir me to no end. wonderful questions brought to the light that many want to bury. and yet i'm reminded of a fog-lit graveyard..

oh! this is just great!...powerful and pugilistic...i was reading Nietzsche's anit-christ to find inspiration for my next poem...but this is inspiring enough!

damm fine piece, kissed with sincere intelligence and perspective. itching like a squirming worm on the hook of my mind...anyone can write a piece on this 'subject;, yet not everyone can SPEAK....like you have in this.

this is so bold; it dares ask questions that cannot be ignored even if the answers are not what some would want to hear and that is candy to my brain; i'm so caught up in the message i almost missed the beautiful language
