The Land Of Fire And Wine Poem by Michael Walker
The Land Of Fire And Wine
I live in the land of fire and wine,
Where the sun and the moon and the stars still shine
On the salt of the earth and the white sea brine
From the dawn of the day till the dusk of time.
The fruit is in flames upon the vine,
And the forest in flames from the fir to the pine!
While the devil laughs at the laws that we sign,
On the hearts of the damned the demons dine!
This is the state of seraphic saints
That Satan and his minions taint
With stygian pictures that each of them paints
And under the stench of the smoke sails faint!
Kindled like tinder, scorched is the land,
Torched like Gehenna, the wrath of God's Hand,
Sodom, Gomorrah, burned by the brand,
While sinners are striving to stand on the strand!
For wine cannot quench the land lit on fire;
Only rain quells the pain of those parched by desire.
This is a marvelous poem, encompassing beautiful sonority of verse and deep though, great images and metaphors accompany the stupendous, All. Very attractively presented with poetic excellence on life and human behavior and history. Last line, poetic excellence at its best, a whole poem in itself: 'Only rain quells the pain of those parched by desire' A truly unforgettable piece. XX
Thank you, Sandra! Your kind words are much appreciated. I'm glad you liked the poem!
A refined poetic imagination, Michael. You may like to read my poem, Love And Lust. Thank you
The land, where the sun and the moon and the stars still shine has turned into the land of fire and wine and this provokes thought. From the dawn of the day till the dusk of time fruits flame and thoughts scribble mind on perception. That Satan and his minions taint attack bringing obstacles. The wrath of God's Hand is superior. Only rain quells the pain. God's mercy falls on human beings as rain falls on Earth. We overcome every trouble by his grace only. This is an excellently penned poem shared here with brilliant perspectives...10

Had to read this again and tell you how much I like and admire this poem! Unfortunately, timeless because things have not changed but gotten worse in this beautiful American State that the hands of " politically correct idiots" and political Devils, have so hurt and destroyed. Should be given to and read by all those that don't realize how stupid they are and how low they fall, destroy and fail.. Those that falsely say " they want to save the planet! "
