Sonnet of an Apocalypse

When the first trumpet is blasted,
the earth trembles with fright.
Then mankind chaos and riot
and mothers lost their child.
When the stars trickles like rain
and the moon is cleft asunder,
the mountains break terrain,
Its the eve of hereafter.

When money and material made no more sense,
no more caste, can't distinguish the difference.
Kings and landlords owned no more lands,
everything is futile, no more repentance.
When the earth quavers, crash and burn,
then, we have reached the point of no return.

God Is The Light

How Great The Wonder Of The Heavens
And The Timeless Beauty Of The Night
How Great-Then How Great The Creator ?

And It's Star Like Priceless Jewels
Far Beyond The Reach Of Kings
Bow Down For The Shepherd Guiding Him Home

But How Many Eyes Are Closed To The Wonder Of This Night ?
Like Pearls, Hidden, Deep Beneath A Dark Stream Of Desires
But Like Dreams Vanish With The Call To Prayer
And The Dawn Extinguishes Night
Here Too Are Signs
God Is The Light .

How Great The Beauty Of The Earth And The Creatures Who Dwell On Her
How Great - Then How Great The Creator ?
As It's Mountains Pierce The Clouds
High Above The Lives Of Men
Weeping Rivers For Thousand Of Years

But How Many Hearts Are Closed To The Wonders Of This Sight ?
Like Birds In A Cage, Asleep With Closed Wings
But Like Work Stops With The Call To Prayer
And The Birds Recite,
Here Too Are Signs
God Is The Light, God Is The Light.

How Great The Works Of Man And The Things He Makes
How Great, Then How Great The Creator ?
Thought He Strives To Reach The Heavens
He Can Barely Survive
The Wars Of The World He Lives In

Yet How Many Times He's Tried, Himself To Immortalize ?
Like His Parents Before Him In the Garden Of Eden
But Like The Sun Sets With The Call To Prayer
And Surrenders To The Night
Here Too Are Signs
God Is The Light Everlasting, God is The Light Everlasting, God is The Light Everlasting.
