The Jewels Of Sodom

She in lace before him did appear.

 Unto this great and mighty king which bore no fear.

Her appearance was that of an angel
Her aurora luminous and white,
 She told him of a black secret
which now lay hidden behind the curtain of night.
She spoke of the evil days that were soon to come to pass, She scoffed at his misguided deflection
and called unto him the immensity of his coming task.
 She lay now at his feet a bowl of solid gold.
She proclaimed the return of the arisen one
to whit the point of the sinners soul.
  Her voice rose to a fevers pitch
as she spoke of many things unknown.
She then told the king to take in hand
and pour forth the contents of the golden bowl.
For by it; she said to this day are tomorrow’s mysteries told.
Therefore he without delay, he who self assuming was mighty and brave,
took to his hand this solemn task for which he was made.
Lifting now the golden urn on high
he emptied forth it contents
which corrupted the sanctity of his mind.
For beneath his feet now lay six hundred and sixty six jewels.
The sparkling Treasures of Sodom, and the depravity of fools.
Now she, whom to he who once did appear in glorious white,
quickly now transformed to that of darkest night.
Take of these stones oh wicked man that you are, and consume them into thy bowels
and wretch violently now beneath New Jerusalem’s shining star.
For you fell victim to your own vain pride,
as you took the whore of Babylon to lay by your side.
For the time is at hand and you oh mighty king, by the greed of thine own soul,
shall usher in the final call and bare witness to the second coming of the son of man.
Oh woe unto thee…said she

Revelations 17: 1-5

 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
