Your one-liner reminds me of the song from the 1970s that we sang at Christian camps, "I Wish We'd All Been Ready." That was the time of the books like the Late Great Planet Earth etc.
Best wishes in the contest!

Thanks, Christine. They'll be worried when the time comes.
Comment from Theodore McDowell
You're getting ominous on me, Paul. The one-line poem sounds like a street preacher I knew in downtown Atlanta who preached Judgment Day all day long and scared me to death. A sobering poem.

My mother wanted me to be a preacher. Maybe I should have listened to her.

shoulda, coulda, woulda done before.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

Thanks, Raul. One liners are tough for me.

You're welcome!

Great entry. A one liner that gives the reader food for thought. At the rate of inflation these days, this may be true for the majority still on earth.

Thanks, Spitfire. The cost for that food has not gone up.
Comment from WLHall
As much as I agree with you about the coming of Christ to judge everyone to the chagrin of many, I couldn't get past the word "bumming". A weak word to describe the most serious event in history. At first I thought the word was "burning" which is more fitting, I think. A loose rhyme that may work? The one line does provoke strong emotion, though. Thank you for reminding me to take a good look at my own life.

Thanks for the review, Wanda. I had second thoughts about "bumming" also. Glad to give you that reminder.
Comment from harmony13
The author's words are interesting, thoughts about the future, clear, descriptive and creative. I found these words the opinion of the author for the future of the Second Coming. I am not sure what it will be like! I am still pondering. This is a very thought provoking one line poem. The artwork is awesome!

Thanks Harmony. Glad I got you thinking.
Comment from Carolyn Dooley
For sure. I like the picture. And yes many will be in for a rude awakening. Those who do not believe in God, and do not believe in the second coming, have another thing coming. This old world has changed too much. The astronauts are not doing us any good what so ever. They are playing with God's territory. Thank you for the great awareness.

Paul,
What a great one line poem!
You use simple, down-to-earth language (I love the rhyme) to get across a complex idea. If people live life as though it were just a temporary setting, a preparation for the hereafter, the world might be a better place.
Good luck with your entry!
Blessings and best wishes,
Cindy

Thanks, Cindy. There are a lot of people today who are living for the moment and are not planning ahead.

😊 I don?t want to be one of them, Paul.
