Book of Daniel
I saw the sky churning as oceans of ashes
Turning down rays of fire, fallout & flashes
Burning up the night, kissing noble November
Mixing the air with embers, opals, & splendors
Exhaled from the heaven as pyroclastic flow
To earth, blasting arrows with strong tip bows
I got down on my knees, hands spread apart
Beseeching God, believing he sees only hearts
And if I am worthy, spare me not any concern
I have children, they wouldn't be ready to burn
I closed my eyes, perceiving a centurion sky
Wrapping my mind against seven billion cries
I saw,
Ten thousand angels playing Chutes & Ladders
With tools of harvest to tear truth from answers
I saw all World powers raise up skeleton armies
Behaving odd against a coming elephant tsunami
Humanity running against the Host of Heaven
Soaking up blood in the body fields of tension
I saw Napoleon in front riding with a battle flag
And Alexander in red planing amplitude in rags
Following them were one hundred million soldiers
Waging to circle a tree called Life, to mow it over
The branches were thick trunks of Lebanon cedar
At the base, a colossal end with a genuine reaper
The sky furnace above waxed hot, torching like hell
The tree went up in flames and the armies swelled
The air was a thick cloud of chromatic volcano
I blinked my eyes finally and behold the inferno!
I saw,
One hundred million necks hang from the Great Tree
Dangling in the dense wind, swaying like quaint leaves
A million silhouettes peppered the skyline like salt licks
Collecting ash and scorch, limed with motor and brick
All at once I heard the collective all cry out, gasping
A last full measure asking mercy for trespassing
A few moments later,
I looked at both my hands, lifting my head high
Giving praise to God that he let me be left alive
I spit dirt and ash out, smacking my lips in thirst
I vow to repent and to live within the scriptures
I buttoned up my coat, tonight a hot wind grows
Protecting me against the infinite day of hot coals....
