đź•Ż The Acts of the Damned: A Lamentation of the Last Days đź•Ż
Lo, children, hear what the Watcher sees—
I. The Smoke That Rose from Babel’s Mouth
(Where the First Fire Was Kindled)
Lo, children, hear what the Watcher sees—
A world baptized in blasphemies,
Where demons crawl through gilded halls,
And every nation drinks and falls.
It was not always thus, O dust,
But pride did breed the serpent’s rust.
“And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven… and let us make us a name…”
—Genesis 11:4
The tower climbed, the heavens cracked—
And devils danced as men attacked
The holy bounds of God’s decree,
And bartered truth for sorcery.
The sins of Babel never died—
They changed their names. They learned to hide.
II. The Acts of Devils and Their Seeds
(A World That Called Evil Good)
They slaughter children in the womb,
They carve out altars, name them “room.”
They call it choice—but it is death,
The womb becomes the dragon’s breath.
“They sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils.”
—Psalm 106:37
They turn the man against his kind,
And teach the boy to flee his mind.
They dress the soul in painted lies,
And bless rebellion as the prize.
They traffic flesh, they sell the poor,
They rape the land, then call for more.
They bow to gold, adore the screen,
And blind their eyes from what is seen.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…”
—Isaiah 5:20
III. From Days of Old Till Now
(How the Old Gods Changed Their Names)
As it was in ancient Tyre,
The music played around the fire.
As in Canaan’s seething shrines,
Where children bled between the pines.
“They built the high places of Baal… to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech.”
—Jeremiah 32:35
These acts returned in cloaked attire—
In Rome’s decay, in Nazi choir.
In modern courts, where blood is sold,
And innocence is bought for gold.
The devil’s tools are still the same—
Deceit, division, lust, and fame.
He whispers, “Thou shalt not surely die,”
As he did once in Eden’s lie.
“Ye shall not surely die… ye shall be as gods.”
—Genesis 3:4–5
IV. The Toolbox of the Serpent
(How Reason Was Used Against Truth)
He works through science void of soul,
Through vain philosophies that roll
Like thunderclouds with no true rain,
Professing light but breeding pain.
He shouts through screens, through silent laws,
Through pride’s applause and reason’s claws.
He quotes the Scripture, twists the verse—
And leads men smiling to the curse.
“For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
—2 Corinthians 11:14
Smoke and mirrors, signs and spells—
The dragon plays where reason dwells.
He reads the Book—he knows the end,
Yet plots to drag down foe and friend.
“The devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
—Revelation 12:12
V. The Curse Passed Down
(Of Generations That Reap What Was Sown)
And when a father mocks the Lord,
And lifts his hand against the Word,
The child shall drink what he has sown,
And reap the field he did not own.
“Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.”
—Exodus 20:5
A house of lust breeds daughters shamed,
Their names half-lost, their hearts defamed.
A drunken oath becomes a chain,
And sons are branded with the stain.
The father’s wrath becomes the war
His seed must fight forevermore.
VI. The Difference of the Christ
(The Flame That Cannot Lie)
But Jesus came with sword and flame,
To rend the lie and speak His Name.
He touched the leper, raised the dead,
And crushed the tempter’s serpent head.
He gave no ear to worldly pride,
But walked in truth and never lied.
He fed the poor, forgave the worst—
And broke the back of Babel’s curse.
“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”
—1 John 3:8
He said, “Take up thy cross and follow,”
Not “Chase thy gold and drink the hollow.”
His gospel is a holy fire—
It burns the flesh and kills desire.
VII. The Coming Judgment
(Where Fire Meets the Throne)
He cometh soon on clouds of wrath,
To burn the chaff along His path.
The books shall open—none shall flee,
And every soul shall bend the knee.
“Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all…”
—Jude 1:14–15
The harlot’s wine shall be poured back,
Upon her head a crown of black.
The kings of earth shall wail and hide,
But none shall from His face abide.
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away…”
—Revelation 20:11
VIII. The Cry of Warning
(The Trumpet Bleeds Into the Day)
Repent, O earth! The day is near,
The Son of Man shall soon appear.
No mirror then, no smoke shall veil—
The Lamb shall roar, the Judge unveil.
The demons writhe, the angels still,
The Bride prepares on Zion’s hill.
The hour bleeds. The sky turns pale—
The winds begin to lift the veil.
IX. The Final Word
(Two Names. One Fire.)
The devil lies, but Christ is true—
One binds in chains, the other renews.
Choose ye this day whom thou wilt serve—
For wrath is coming, swift and curved.
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
—Revelation 20:15
“Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
—Romans 10:13
Lo, children, flee what the Watcher sees—
The smoke is rising in the air.
Do not be lulled by velvet sin—
For Christ shall rise—and He shall win.
đź•Ż Envoi đź•Ż
Here endeth the lament.
He that hath ears, let him hear.
The time is short. The fire is lit.
The King is near.
