Analysis of THE ANTI-CHRIST
Black as ashes stands the man
Born to command the evil night,
Tall and lean, he brings terror to
Anyone who dares defy his right;
To rule the world eight awful years
Making nations fall before his might,
Once deemed "The Great Black Hope" by all
Now we know him as the Anti-Christ.
Smiling like a Cheshire Cat
This creature shapen like a man,
Raises his iron fist against
Anyone who ever dares to stand;
Against him and his dreadful rule
Too decent to obey his foul commands,
When will Jesus return to free us from
The Anti-Christ who walks the land?
Slithering like the meanest snake
Sending terror against the very brave,
Those who see through his shallow guise
Are destined soon to lie in state;
For daring to want freedom's return
They're headed for an early grave,
The Anti-Christ will not be stopped
He takes no prisoners ... only slaves!
Making Hitler seem like a fallen saint
The Anti-Christ rules the Empire of Fright,
Spreading terror in his loathsome wake
Don't barrack for this hideous blight;
Might makes wrong around the world
Guided by this creature foul of sight,
Once deemed "The Great Black Hope" by all
Now we know him as the Anti-Christ.
THE END

About this poem
Christian believe Jesus will not return until the Anti-Christ has walked the Earth. In fact, the Anti-Christ did come earlier this century; so the End of Days should be coming soon.
