BRIMSTONE FINGERS

Angry preachers,
brimstone finger pointing
projecting fear
with no anointing.

Keeping us in suspense
of end-time events.
Second-hand 
view of the world
behind a theological fence.

Doomsayers knocking at the door
with news of impending destruction,
spreading rumours of plagues and war.
Selling Judgment Day to even the score.

Misinterpretation from the pulpit hurled
The end of the age, not the end of the world.
Divine judgment
is what we have bought on ourselves. >>
