An abrahamic poem

Poem

Important disclaimer: I do not belong to any of the Abrahamic faiths, and this is important to point out as some may take offense at the violent threats of fire and brimstone. This simply an attempt at imitation, of the Qur'an and of William Blake's Auguries of Innocence.

I swear by birds that fly;

I swear by raining sky;

I swear by Him Most High;

I swear the end is nigh.

The hue of gloaming's dye

Presents the meaning's why.

The newborn infant's cry

Does power man supply.

The land unsoaking dry

Is given life to sigh,

To life from death supply,

To answer humans' cry

Who with the Lord comply,

To give their life unshy

Desires unchaste deny.

To Father's creed they tie

Their lives to live and die.

Unweighted souls then fly,

To Fields Elysian hie,

To life unchaste goodbye,

They give with tearful eye,

With joyous joy of "aye".

Such is the gift of Sky

For those who did reply

To Father's bidding cry,

Who ne'er with Father vie,

Who ne'er with wrong comply,

Who shun the ways of sly

Perdition's evil "aye",

For aye to hearts most nigh.

The eyes that ne'er descry

The means depraved whereby

To Hell that souls unshy

Of wicked evil's lie

Then hie to lie for aye -

For those who did deny

The Life of Him Most High -

Will wish to close and dry

In blindness ne'er to vie

With disbelieving's lie,

When they're then made to cry

At Hell's red coals that fry

The flesh and bone and eye

Of all who did deny.

Let those who then espy

The signs of Father's sigh

Of life yet doomed to die -

That life did give to I,

To you and all who cry

To Him on whom rely

They do to mercy buy

With price of deeds' supply -

Prostrate and shake and cry

In awe of Him Most High.
