The Apocalypse--A Revelation ... Chapter One



The Apocalypse--A Revelation ... Chapter One


Spiraling as a tornado in a spot brewing
this whole first semester,

trapped in Sabrina's analytical brain,

word's from adolescence
her black father through Bible study
Sabrina ingrained:

"Therefore, I appeal to you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,

holy and acceptable to God,

a sacred service with your power of reason.

And stop being molded by this system of things,

but be transformed by making your mind over, so that you may prove to yourselves

the good and acceptable
and perfect

will of God."* 

This constant stewing
after professors' daily deliberation of mother nature,
an accepted source of which this magnificent universe un-purposefully sprang.

(Although, her Asian mother,

for which reason Sabrina entered this elevated education of intellectual strain, full-scholarship attained,

agreed,
causing this daughter devoted
emotional pain, as a house divided creates rupture;

familial strain.

Her eyes are diverted by her iPhone
as it silently scrolls her breaking news
of yet another terrorist attack in London#,
she quickly perused.)

Here I sit listening to factless chatter
presented as concrete matter
which, in effect, all morals universally shatter

while this world's relieved of accountability
when thoroughly alleviated from sordid consciences 

an Almighty Deity
relegated to ancient pulp fiction.


The current headlines make her tragically sadder:

Several hurt in 'terrorist' incident on London underground train#

Sabrina glances around this large youthful crowd
in an auditorium of her peers
in rapture by this bearded instructor

jeaned with tee shirt, posturing 
lean and proud

wondering

which one of these eager beavers
would be inspired

to breed hatred then enact violence
unbrotherly.

Totally nationalistic.

Actions
death-dealingly
loud.

Who she failed to see
was a fellow believer--He

focused on her unusual beauty
casually clad in fresh attire

individually 'rad'.

Wayne's constant cause of early attendance,
when sleep he infinitely preferred
over this male professor's spouting
the 'survival of the fittest' theory

growing an intellectual distain
for a loving Creator's
profound

majestic creativity.


However,
Sabrina contemplates her nagging scholarly negativity:

How do I spin this into a position to explain
these turbulent times?

Their meaning: The advent
of The Apocalypse.

A Revelation to John about the end of our days.

Armageddon.

Yet,
not the end of our earth,

to an international mankind
eternally
lent.


Although, a wicked force and his demons
to this world cast, angrily sent

will do all that is necessary

Sabrina's endeavors to prevent.


TO BE CONT'D...
