The Angels cry
The Predators fly
Throughout the sleepless night
Where we quiver in fright
All is Lost, all is lost
And the angels cry
All is lost
The storm churns
The fire burns
The child, dead and gone
Yet the fight carries on
All is Lost, all is lost
And the angels cry
All is lost
The end approaches
As hopelessness encroaches
Upon all of His domain
It is time for the darkness to reign
All is Lost, all is lost
And the angels cry
All is lost
Cities fall, empires crumble
As trees and mountains tumble
Consumed by flames, met by fate
This world shall lie at His feet
All is Lost, all is lost
And the angels cry
All is lost
As engulfed in flames the stars fall
We all hear His call
Yet we still fight on
Even though all hope is gone
All is Lost, all is lost
And the angels cry
All is lost
Cruel this end may seem
It was always part of His scheme
To be the beginning, to be the end
So now ...
All is Lost, all is lost
And the angels cry
All is lost

I REALLY like this poem. It has a rather apocalyptic feel to it. The ending is very neat - "The Alpha, The Omega" symbolism of God is wonderful. My favorite part was probably
"Cities fall, empires crumble
As trees and mountains tumble
Consumed by flames, met by fate
This world shall lie at His feet"
It put fantastic images in my mind.
Great job!

-Steve-
-
-
Wow...
Damn. This is very, very, VERY good. Absolutely stunning Steve. A hauntingly, beautifully written work of genius here, my friend. I absolutely love this. This is absolutely amazing.
The storm churns
The fire burns
The child, dead and gone
But the fight carries on
It has an almost apocalyptic tone to it, especially with the mention of it being time for "the darkness to reign" This is chillingly awesome, Steve. Keep it up!

thanks glad you enjoyed reading it! I wasnt finished but I just added some more...

It's still AMAZING Steve. And don't apologize for offending anyone about your religion. You believe what you believe, and I believe it too. I don't hear the muslims or Jews apologizing for their religions. But that's just what I think. XD Anyway back to the poem it's still AMAZING. I loved the dramatic hyperextension of the letters on each line

thanks and I guess your right about the apology its just I have a really good friend who's atheist and she gets pissed when I mention God at all I wish I could convince her He exists maybe she wouldnt be so depressed...oh well...thanks again!
-Steve- -
-
Yeah I know lots of athiests and while we agree to disagree I do NOT apologize and do NOT say I'm sorry for mentioning my beliefs. I mean, they don't apologize for saying they're an athiest, so why should I say I'm sorry for being a Christian, right?
I think for that friend of yours, Steve, a more loving thing to do for her when you mention Him and she gets pissed is to NOT apologize, for she will see how great your faith is and perhaps consider what He has done for you. "They will know us by our love." Just a thought.
-
-
thanks and yeah ill try that...im gonna take the apology out of the notes now thanks again!
