I read this over a few times it is a long poem but the message is clear and clever, as well as poignant, I believe the end of days is coming and woe to the cullers of the meek well done

Comment from Mastery
Hi, Mike. This is outstanding poetry, my friend. Very good indeed. Lots of great imagery for one thing..And heart. I liked this stanza in particular:
"and all the varied portions of the soul
those debonair world leaders would deny.
Without intent, we freed the Earth and stole
their power with a whimper and a sigh"
Bravo! Wish I had a six left...Bob

Comment from Darla9
Very interesting poem with excellent imaginary.
You see, in times adverse and crushed by hate
the door stands open, beckoning with light
to sons and daughters, fathers here and late,
and revolution's mothers of insight
That was my favorite part. Beautiful, thanks for sharing :)

A very dark and well composed story poem about Armageddon. I really liked the visual imagery that you used throughout the poem. Don

It seems to me that natural disasters are what keeps the population low. Not that I am happy about disaster. This is a very thought inspiring piece.

What an amazing poem. I love the imagery and raw power of your words.
"with viewpoints spawned in legacy's lament
of life and all its pain as balance nears."
What wonderful and words. I loved everything about this poem. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Bayberry
This is indeed a powerful posting with a formidable message. Unfortunately, today's world doesn't really understand biblical meekness. For in surrendering our own strength and power, we gain the benefit of the Lord's.
This is a very thought-provoking read. There's a lot going on and the content is profound. (Especially in lieu of the natural calamities that are increasing. People can read the signs if they are alert. Unfortunately, as usual, power-seekers are too busy scrambling to elevate themselves to look upwards.)
Thank you for sharing your exceptional writing talents. Josie
