The End of Days

The anger in the air was palpable
Dissension breaking walls of right and wrong
Distraught by all the fervor I’m aghast
Riotous they break the wondrous song

A susurration comes out in the dark
Vicissitudes are coming with the wind
Comeuppance for the violence is nigh
For all the past ebullience of sin

And then a new and better world be born
One lacking all the pain and sin of past
A peace amongst the people everywhere
A joyous peace that will forever last

Abodes will open up to everyone
The juncture now has been left far behind
And we will burgeon in this time of joy
Incursions will no longer be to find

Officious, we will make our stand today
Organic, we are bound forever one
Now we hold on to brothers, sisters dear
And wait there for the rising of the sun

Author notes

I USED ALL THE WORDS!!! I was so inspired by them that I just had to use them. In some cases, I used the uncommon meaning for a word(i.e. ebullience(which usually has positive connotations))

    I must say that was no easy word bank to use and you have done a wonderful job of placing them within your poem and keeping the poem flow
    and brought us a wonderful world through your words.
    Thanks for sharing
