I read this passage in the bible [Joel 2:2-12] which talked about the power of God. So i wrote a poem describing Gods power.
Surges across the lands
They cannot be bribed or bartered with
For they have no demands
At the mere sight of it nations quiver
Every face turns white
Trained warriors lose their nerves
No one wishes to fight
They march along in perfect rhythm
Never falling out of line
Marching on for weeks on end
And don't complain or whine
With a sound of chariots they thunder on
Nothing can stand in its way
Nothing can bear to hold it back
Or try to keep it at bay
Earth and sky begin to tremble
Shaking from its might
Sun and moon are covered up
Depriving the world its light
Onward they plunge through every defense
Not even breaking rank
Every warrior who fought against it
Seemed to shoot a blank
Cities fall one by one
Getting caught up in this deadly dance
Nations falling two by two
Never standing a chance
Fertile land is turned to desert
The soil turned to dust
Nothing will be saved or spared
In this sweeping thrust
A day of darkness and gloom is at hand
But you can still repent
Then you can be saved from that day
The day of the Lord's Judgment
[Based on Joel 2:2-12]

The Lord's Judgment
An army larger than any ever seen by this worldSurges across the lands
They cannot be bribed or bartered with
For they have no demands
At the mere sight of it nations quiver
Every face turns white
Trained warriors lose their nerves
No one wishes to fight
They march along in perfect rhythm
Never falling out of line
Marching on for weeks on end
And don't complain or whine
With a sound of chariots they thunder on
Nothing can stand in its way
Nothing can bear to hold it back
Or try to keep it at bay
Earth and sky begin to tremble
Shaking from its might
Sun and moon are covered up
Depriving the world its light
Onward they plunge through every defense
Not even breaking rank
Every warrior who fought against it
Seemed to shoot a blank
Cities fall one by one
Getting caught up in this deadly dance
Nations falling two by two
Never standing a chance
Fertile land is turned to desert
The soil turned to dust
Nothing will be saved or spared
In this sweeping thrust
A day of darkness and gloom is at hand
But you can still repent
Then you can be saved from that day
The day of the Lord's Judgment
