Stars Fall From Heaven Poem by Gert Strydom

Stars Fall From Heaven

Rating: 5.0


Stars fall from heaven
as if they are raining down
with bright light stripes
that lights up that nigh
almost like the day.

Thunder do bolt down to the earth
as if nothing and nobody can stop it
while menacing clouds
whirl about while they do gather

and wild winds do come down devouring
buildings, vehicles and people
where they fall

and at times the sun does become extremely hot
causing ice glacier to melt invisible
and floods and earthquakes
become a daily occurrence

and great violence bursts loose everywhere
while people try to
to somewhere find food, clothes
and a place of shelter
and everywhere there is disorder
and all of these are only signs

and defence forces, the police,
emergency services
and hospitals are at the ready
and poets are approached
to find a answer
in one or other way

as if they are holy
and alone can hear voices
that other people cannot
and in secret are having conversations
with the gods
or with God

but the presidents and prime ministers
and even Lucifer and his demonic hordes
have got no answer
although they do know
that the day of the omnipotent Lord God is at hand
and they do fear him
but do still act in rebellion.

Great poem reflecting the poet's (as well as others) views about the impact of good and evil forces when meteors fall from sky causing damage on earth. Thanks a lot.
