Judgment day

(to a prompt)

skies dark, air still,

shivers sweep an ancient hill.

whispers rise, fade away,

shadows creep on Judgment Day.

no place to run, no space to hide,

truth revealed, no masks or pride.

time stands tall, debts come due,

every soul reflects what’s true.

scales tip with deeds and lies,

hope soars, dreams die

reckoning comes fierce and fair,

no mercy or forebear

winds of fate blow,

push all where they must go.

in the end, no voice can sway

the final toll of Judgment Day.
