Apocalypse Green

By Kanute Tangwa aka K(C)anute Tangwa

the earth is my footstool/
the skies my headrest.

when the wind blows/
you can now predict where it goes.

when the skies open/
you can say for sure
it would rain.

my footstool and headrest can make or mar

for your dross has reached my ears

from the beginning/
I made all things beautiful
the forests, seas, mountains, hills, birds, fishes, animals and land

creating you out of my footstool/
I made you masters over all
for you are my image and likeness

I have never broken my promise

I open and close the heavens/
unleashing living water and sunshine on good and bad

ensuring an unbroken life saving cycle

I kept my promise

except in the age of noah, elijah and lot

for you asked for a sign to gauge my wrath
since wisdom is not your forte

now you have stirred my wrath

though when you see these things/
do not turn your back
pillar of salt

these things:

mega fiery wild fires blazing crawling leaping swaying/
laying waste vast swathe/
my six day design

did you respect the green covenant?

these things:

giga floods surging submerging large expanse

but I kept my promise after Noah

did you respect the green rainbow compact?

fire and floods shall
pass away/
but my word shall not
