ALL OR NOTHING

"For ours is not a conflict with mere flesh and blood,but with the despotisms,the empires,the forces that control and govern this dark world..."

Roll call!
Sound the alarm,
All men gather,
At the camp ground,
I beseech you,
Listen to my words,
With an open heart and mind,
For now is not the time,
To get comfortable,
I can see it,
Clear as day,
The impending judgement,
Your vision has been tainted,
Your ears deafened,
Your senses weakened,
For far too long.

Arise and gird yourself,
Dark forces,
Circle around,
Ready to drag you down,
To the lowest of places,
This is not a bedtime story,
An attempt to spook you,
It lurks in the shadows,
An unseen world,
Behind-the-scenes.

We walk the earth,
Not just as plain individuals,
But as Soldiers of Christ,
Fighting to the finish,
United as a body,
Keep your petty differences aside,
And lean not on your own understanding,
Look beyond this facade,
Its all a hoax,
Equip yourselves,
Ready to stand together,
Putting on the armour of God,
Eyes focused,
On the eternal trophy,
Walk out of the darkness,
Into the light of Christ.

The devil,
Seeks only,
To steal,kill and destroy,
So don't exchange,
The finished work of Christ,
On the cross,
For false ecstasy,
Be vigilante,
Ready to stand firm,
Rock solid on God's word,
It's All or Nothing.

A very rare genre these day; the concept of God and our duties to him.
You have written it nicely and simply enough for all to understand. If i consider your age, i must say, you've have done exceptionally well.
You might want to make a correction in this sentence: "But as Soldiers in Christ"
I guess you meant to write, 'of Christ'
You should read more and more. It will enhance your vocabulary and give you more options to put your thoughts more precisely.
It's was a good read. The stanza was captivating.

A powerful, well-written and necessary read that needs to be posted considerably beyond these cafe walls!

Thanks for sharing

Love it! Great job! The time is soon coming when we are all going to be judged and we do need to wake up before it is too late. It is all or nothing. Fantastic poem!
