The Antichrist

The Antichrist


in the future on a date God only does know
war shall erupt in heaven and Michael shall throw
satan to the earth, as an angel does cry, 'Woe! '
the devil shall play Christ, he deceiving many

the antichrist will seemingly miracles do
will set up his government to worship him too
the people will believe he is Christ through and through
believers, God wonders, if there be left any? 




     In this poem on the Antichrist, the writer presents a vision of the future which is dark and grim. This touches on the issue of religion and that people seem to blindly follow it at times. Personally it seems like a scary future to be in, almost like there is a higher being trying to test people to see if they will be deceived or not. Also since I am not very knowledgeable in the aspect of God, I also wonder what would happen if the so-called Antichrist approached the people who are atheist, or believe in a different God. I'm sure that in any case, there will definitely be people left, not all are abiding citizens, and not all follow God. I feel that if there were to be some God-like figure, the "real" god or an Antichrist trying to pose as a real God, I wouldn't take the opportunity to follow him. 
      This depiction of the future seems to go with the idea that people are almost too religious. People seem to worship this God wholeheartedly, but what if that God were to be sent to Earth? How would people react? The writer uses such lines as "the devil shall play Christ, he deceiving many" to show that people are indeed gullible especially when it comes to discovering about things that they believe in. The poem does indeed bring up the question of what it means to be human. Why are we put on Earth in the first place. In writing this, the writer also creates an apocalyptic image of a world where humans are all deceived and led to their own doom-- at least that is how I see it.
