Soon You Will Say That It Is Finished And So Will It Be Poem by Gert Strydom

1
While almost all of the world was against You in revolt
You came not with in Your fist the blazing thunderbolt,
nor with the flames falling from a clear cobalt sky
or meteorites innumerable that earthly twisting fly
or earthquakes, volcanoes or hurricanes that devastation does hum
to pay out to unrighteousness its wages and total sum
2
but exchanged your eternal, omnipotent self for mortality,
walked dusty roads for people full of iniquity like me,
taught people to be happy but much more about love.
Of their tempting and mockery did not have enough,
innocent full of tranquillity they nailed You to a cross,
of who You really were those people were at a loss
3
and now in my own day people talk of You in dismay,
others that served You do You and Your existence betray,
many a rebuild newer Babylon does with its skyscrapers tower,
the new Gomorra and Sodom do constantly test their power
and in blasphemy of Your name people do speak and act,
do make You a myth and do respect for You lack,
4
do build for war killing machine after machine
and secret weapons that no normal man have never seen
from molten metals they do fabricate,
do play like gods with the common man's fate
until You do come on your Judgement Day,
do to all on earth Your glory and power display.
5
It's if I am standing at the edge of the abyss,
with a trembling hand are writing this
and although ages do pass and times change,
although man does the world rearrange,
do indoctrinate the mind, the spirit and soul
and only selfless love is Your ultimate goal,
6
a time will come when man will have no choice to make
and only Your sincere elect will in meeting You partake,
full of evil will be those that do beget it and bear ill
and nothing will stop Your supreme omnipotent will,
destruction is near and Your work is almost done,
in righteousness this world will burn hotter than the sun.
