Ringing Of The Bell

The bell rung out loud The world was going to end Everyone gathered into a crowd Everyone then began looking for a friend. The atheists they began to pray The religious began to preach Tomorrow they knew was their last day So, they all started to beseech. The politicians they ran and hid The wealthy they just began to cry Temptations and greed they threw away, or hid No longer could anyone sell, or tempt, or buy. The poor and the needy were prepared When tomorrow would finally arrive They were all nervous, but not scared With God, they already knew how to survive. People then began to help each other Without being told to, or given a nudge They were kind to strangers and to one and another Tomorrow they knew, that God would judge. Many wrung their hands as they prayed While many fearfully wished that God did not exist Of his just verdict many were afraid Knowing that they were on hells waiting list. All wars and conflicts in the world ended Prejudice and bigotry ceased as well No one anymore or anywhere was offended As they all heard the ringing of the bell. Randy L. McClave
