Doomsday Poem by Preston Mwiinga

I wonder what we would have said if we lived during the first doomsday prophet many thousands of years ago.
He also went around pronouncing that the end of the world was near.
In fact, he was so convinced of his own predictions that he mortgaged his future in order to build a giant floating barn.
Noah must have looked like the biggest loon to come on the scene since creation. Who, in his right frame of mind would believe that the giant flood would soon come and wipe everyone on the earth?
And who in his right frame of mind would build a three-story boat miles and miles away from the nearest body of water? Insanity, that's what it was. Pure insanity and only a fool would believe these wild tales from a crazy old man who spent his pare time herding exotic animals.
This crazy old man, Noah, is one of several fools on the list of those who were commended by God for their faith.
Those of us who set out to follow an invisible God on a journey no one has ever seen, look sort of crazy in the eyes of the world.
We say we have a word from God, a warning of the impending destruction. Like He did with Noah, God has placed on us the task of saving the world. Only the world does not want to be saved.
