Buddy Knows First

April 3, 2026

He leaps
from the couch
to growl at the sky.

Then looks back at me –
as if goodbye.

Soon roll the winds
straight from hell

all we can do
is bark and yell.

The Earth now an Ember
our spirits release,

another failed planet,
another failed “peace”.

In a flash.

until there are no soldiers
we have all died in vain

Belief in the The Apocalypse of John
asserts peace is unattainable
until the “second coming” of Christ.

That until there is a worldwide conflagration;
until a Christ lead theocracy emerges –
peace is  impossible.

How can an Armageddonist work for peace
without furthering
theocracy,

the self fulfilling
prophesy?
