On A Day God Will Take Account Poem by Gert Strydom

On A Day God Will Take Account



(in answer to Fanie Olivier)

On a day God will take account
for every written word,
for every crumbling verse,
even for the skew ways
that people do interpret Him
and then some people will gnash their teeth,

those that do tread Him down
will view those that serve Him
as a contamination to others
but they will realise that He does really exist,
will be brought before His kingly throne

and those who dance around fires,
who call upon daemons, which do search for advice
from ancestral spirits
will come to a judgement before Him

and before Him every crime, rape,
robbery, murder and killing
will come to righteousness,
will claim a punishment
and even His enemies will praise Him
when He lets destruction loose
as a last blessing of love.
