Gosh, how biblical!
But this writing had such power and force. Your concept was well matched by your choice of language and style. I felt both the majesty and the omnipotence of God in these words you placed in his mouth.
But like James, my 'God' is more gentle in aspect while still holding power and authority. More New Testament!
I can see what you are talking about though when you reference power and influence. Well written.

Sounds like an angry Old Testament god, one I would fear and not love, though I suppose Dante or Milton might think one should fear what one loves, justice going hand-in-hand with mercy. Nevertheless, you accomplished what the poem's title connotes, and fulfilled the poem's purpose, which is what's most important.

Whoa - Roger - this is powerful stuff! The voice of 'rage and ruin' shouting for sure. You've captured the vehemence, the startling anger in every word! No two ways about it. The poem rushes head-on and really impacts the emotions. Excellent job here.

Wow! If I didn't know better, I would think you just tore a page out of scripture.
The Bible says that in the last days, many shall run for the mountains, but the mountains will not protect them.
When will we stop to realize that Christ came to save, not to condemn. John 3:16 says that if we do not believe we are condemned already, not because Christ condemns us, He came to save us, but because we have not accepted the only salvation that will ever be provided.
Sorry to go on and on, but I found this write very stark and powerful, with a fantastic message.

i must confess you have the power to influence me in any direction that you wish i have no control over how i am affected by your words i don't see just vowels and contenace or miss spelled words i see the picture you have painted with your soul that has touched my soul connected by your 1000 words. So go ahead dear friend of mine take control of me again here we go away again down this road again. Keep my eyes from all those lies let your truth shine through. I may have left for a while but I have never forgotten you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you friend
