When you’re gone – an apocalyptic poem
The Rapture cometh.
Go to the light,
a superior world,
where all is white and right.
How will us sinners
manage to do,
without hate and fear
as our social glue?
Guns, God and gays,
no longer an issue.
Say it’s not so.
Please pass the tissue.
This world without you,
a challenge indeed.
Be gone, leave us,
and Godspeed.
You hate this world,
and the things it contains.
When we’re left behind,
hell will be less insane.

When it does not happen, they can blame PO in one easy step. Want me to do my blackboard and chalk to show you all why it will be POs fault? Come on, you know you do. So PO gives a speech the other day, about the Middle East and how it would be nice if we went back to pre 67 borders with swaps for I/P to get along right peacefully, something that has been talked about since the Big Dog’s admin.
Ok, so given that he said let’s do this, back to the old days of 1967, (hey they’re old for me what do you want) this was before he included the temple area in Jerusalem and now they won’t be able to build the third temple, which will bring about the landing strip for Jesus there because he talked about it. They wouldn’t be ablt to go ahead and build that thrd temple so the rapture cannot happen till that happens and it will be PO’s fault because it might not happen if peace happens 🙂 See how it’s his fault if it doesn’t happen now? No, neither do I but then I’m not Glenn Beck am I?
Sound logic, Jess. I’m convinced.
I’m practicing teabag talk, so I too can be raptured. I’m hoping they have a good buffet table though, when everyone gets up there and the nice food isn’t all gone. You know how some people can be greedy when they get in front of a buffet. Wait though, will they have shrimp and pork and stuff because I don’t eat that and well, there is the whole Leviticus stuff going on with the not eating shellfish and pork but you’re raptured so will it be okay then right. Man I’m confused about this, hopefully I have been sinful enough to just stay here with the rest of the left behinds 🙂
I’d forgotten this little gem, how appropriate and true.
If only. . .
I can’t see God picking out the dumbest most racist assholes in the world and rapturing them up to Heaven, I would imagine the other guy would want those assholes.
Me either, they will go to Fresno instead, then we just need to build a wall or something to keep them there.
Wonderful poem, my sentiments exactly.
We”l meet again
Don’t know where don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep shining through, just Like you always do
Till the blue skies chase those dark clouds, far away.
And I will just say hello,
To the folks that you know,
Tell them you won’t be long,
They’ll be happy to know that as I saw you go
You were singing this song.
A thing of beauty.
Blunt and to the point I think.
Good post. I suppose it’s a bit politer than saying go away and die you bible-thumpers.
