Redemption Isn't Possible

I think the next great religious movement
May not have a house of worship.
Believers will hold rallies,
But only in public spaces.

Their followers will refer to themselves
As members of the Coming Doom,
Each adherent shall be labeled a Doomster.
They’ll adorn themselves with sandwich signs,

Emblazoned fore and aft, on every sign,
Will be the Coming Doom motto,
“We Are Gaining!!!”
Below that will be a picture.

While the photo will change weekly,
It shall show the “Disaster of the Week”,
Always in black and white.
And always a scene of mass slaughter.

Surrounding the dead bodies,
Striking a reverential pose,
May appear handicapped children
And disabled octogenarians.

Each sign carrier will be
Dressed in bleach, each carrying a sign
Will be grasping a swinging lantern,
And distributing very disturbing literature.

Since their job is to help prepare the way
They will not be silent.
They’ll bellow “We are Doomed,
Redemption is not Possible?”
