The Day of Man, the Day of the Lord

Shirley A Mandel
Today is the day

of glossy photos

and sinewy runners

made manifest to everyone

by the magic of TV.

Beautiful men and women

now rule the world,

and life is filled with

superstars.

Today is the day of man.

But the Day of the Lord

is soon coming.

He will split the mountains

apart with His feet,

and the stars of heaven

shall be his crown.

He will fill the sky

with a transcendent light,

and His sword shall be

the truth that He is speaking.

The Great Day of the Lord

is coming soon,

and men shall die at His feet

for lack of truth.
