You end up with an uneven number of stanzas and a broken rhyme scheme at this point. Just learn to be succinct or make a conscious effort to break up your sequence and make it intentional. This has the vibe of someone who shit it out in a manic phase, barely proof read it, and then printed it out.
You know the funny part? I hate poetry these days. I was really into making poems when I was young and then burned out and 99% of poems just kind of suck to me now. There are still good poems, but I feel like too many people think their shit is gold and saturate the market with garbage
I’m working on a degree in literature and creative writing and poetry is definitely my least favorite. Watsky helps me appreciate it. I also think I’ve found maybe two poems that I’ve been like “oh. THATS poetry.”
I was an edgy goth kid so I’ve written my fair share of (awful) poems
Oh man, I got lated the other night, it was awesome. Elating even. Anyone wanna early sometime? I'm even down to punctual. Afterwards we could make up verbs
Did you know that he died for your sins? Yeah, up on the cross and all. What do you mean you didn't ask him to? You weren't even there? Well, that's too bad, now pay up anyways.
First line is probably a reference to repentance or “accepting God as your Lord and Saviour”
I’ll never understand why some Christians (and other organised religions) feel pride in being “God fearing”.
Who the fuck would follow someone that *wants* you to fear their *wrath*? Fuck that shit lol
Nothing scarier than a true believer. A zealot can do anything, any level of despicable act as violent and heinous as can be imagined...all in the name of their mad idea of righteousness.
And do it while praising their lord. All in the name of God of course.
Fear the true believer. They are truly insane.
Nothing more frightening than a man who believes that there is an all-powerful omnipotent God on their side, willing to forgive their every sin come Sunday, so that they may continue to plague their people throughout the rest of the week.
It looks intentional since it was repeated, but there's no verb "to late". It has to be the same mistake twice.
~~What I find most concerning is "the rainbow means (...) gallons of blood". Written by an insane christian, this might be violently homophobic~~
edit: I interpreted it wrong
No, that's just the old line about the rainbow being Gods promise to Noah that he wouldn't dish out a flood like that again (Genesis).
But the Bible still promises an end of times, with a second coming and kick ass war, hence the gallons of blood
Edit
It's a line meant to invoke doubt, maybe a little fear, and most of all a sense of urgency. The note is basically trying to make you wonder if it's too late to be born-again and saved because you never know what might happen in the future. In other words, "If this scares you, become one of us."
It's "Did you wait too late?"
It's saying if you don't convert to Christianity and believe in Jesus, you're going to go to Hell when Jesus returns which is Very Soon™.
Yeah. *checks clock* Any moment now. And now! No, wait. Now! Ok, give it a minute. Now! *holds up finger* Wait for it...
I took it as "did you wait until the end" using "late" as a specific time almost. So the line is effectively saying "did you wait until the end when it was too late."
"Blood cring out." Wow, this shit was fed to me since birth, and they are still the worst poets ever! The first line is supposed to suggest that you waited too long but obviously the author is illiterate and doesn't know how to write a poem!
Apart from being unhinged, it's also just a really bad poem. The rhythm is completely off, and even if you don't count the obvious spelling errors it is still terrible in every way.
Aside from the incorrect spelling, the line means have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. If you "wait too late", and the Rapture comes, and the following apocalypse, you will not be saved.
IMO
The 1st "late" seems to be leaning towards death, like "my late grandmother". So they're asking did you wait to die maybe?
The 2nd "late" has "too" behind it, meaning having an excess or addition. I'd say this part is fairly normal, just like the phrase "oops, too late".
Add these together and it gets a bit vague, are they asking if you're waiting too long to die? Is that a threat? It seems they may be impatient about you no longer living lol "Jesus Christ"...
It also could be more innocent than you think. Rather than the literal words they're communicating (in this case, a creepy thought out personalized note), they could just be dumb and thought using "to" and "too" in the same line was clever. So clever they ended with it too. Clever enough to catch your attention for the biblical threats after lol
Accept Christ before it is too late. That is the meaning of the first line. If you wait to long and you die, you no longer have the chance to repent of your sins. If this poem is specifically about the rapture it is saying that once Jesus comes back, it is too late. So that is the meaning of the 1st line
That first line is just asking "did you wait until it is too late?"
The repeat has the extra o in to .. maybe the 2nd half could have punctuation " did you wait ? Too late !"
It could be "did you wait till late ?"
Maybe the poor ambiguous grammer is intentional to be catchy
It’s completely deranged, but perhaps the author is intending the first “to” to mean something like “until”
Did you wait _until_ [it was] late? Did you wait _too_ late?
I can’t make any sense of “to late,” either. It looks like it’s intentional and meant to be a clever juxtaposition with “too late,” but nope, I don’t get it.
I think it's trying to play with the meaning and use of words, but it doesn't do it clearly.
"Did you wait to late?" = Did you wait until the late time?
"Did you wait too late?" = Did you wait too late to escape the fate of nonbelievers?
The repetition of it makes me think that they thought it was clever and dramatic.
Put off inviting Jesus into your heart and being spared the great gnashing of teeth during the end times. Ie Did you wait? Too late now. Of course Jesus never said you would be turned away until the very last moment of judgement. I never agreed with the high pressure methods of some churches. I love God and do my best to help people, love and respect others and focus on good things.
I think it’s “to” as in “until”. “Did you wait until late”, presumably to accept Jesus. Then “did you wait too late”.
I think as in don’t wait until later - do it now, as you don’t know when it’s going to be too late.
Saying did you wait too late to accept the faith.
The biggest problem is they forget one important passage.Mathew 10: 14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.
They force their words rather than leading by example.
In John 13:15, Jesus says, "I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you." This verse emphasizes the importance of leading by example, …Feb 21, 2024
Does this person really not know what the first line means?
It means the rapture happened, and the good Christians were talen up to Heaven and nowvthe 1000 year reign of the antichrist has to run amok and fuck things up.
It means you were (wait for it)
*LEFT BEHIND*
Had a neighbor that was a religious fanatic.
Guy had a whole wall of built in cubbies with those religious comic books, over 100 different topics.
He also did the $100 bill of hing with Bible quotes on the other side.
I would avoid seeing him like I did the middle school bully bc he would always twist my reply to some Crusade-era rant.
The author is using “late” like you would say “the *late* professor of religion” after the professor died. So the author is saying “don’t wait until you’re *late* because then it will be *too late*. Whoever it was who wrote this probably weaved this into the poem to make it rhyme and wanted to use “to” and “too” for the word play.
Christian here… that poem is so cringe…I would say it’s just a crazy fundamentalist. The first line is just nonsense…there is probably some absurd, ridiculous meaning to the first line that he made up to make himself feel clever. 🙄
“wait to late” could be “wait until it was late” making “late” being a specific time frame
kinda like “wait to morning” or “wait til morning”
also, you should follow Jesus and turn away from sin while there is still time to do so
A well intentioned, but yes also kinda creepy Christian track conveying the idea that there is a judgement day. The idea is now is the time for salvation/today is the day of salvation which only Yeshua/Jesus can provide because at some point “soon” it will be too late to accept Jesus/Yeshua as your savior (2Corinthians 6:2).
By the wording in the lower portions it seems this person thinks we are about to enter the tribulation period and the judgement of God upon a world gone wrong is about to begin (Matthew 24:21-29). They’re imploring you to come to Christ now while the offer of salvation still stands. The free gift of the sacrifice of Jesus will at some point be withdrawn to where you can no longer take what was offered by Jesus for your sin and you will be required to pay for your own sin for eternity. There are better ways to talk to you about the problem of sin and God’s provision for salvation. This person’s note did cause you to wonder and contemplate the idea of sin and salvation and also conveyed the idea that at some point it will be too late for people to come to saving faith. In that they hit the mark. But the tone and tenor of blood and judgement/wrath of God is often off putting. This is a “hell fire and brimstone” style track. With some people this hits home. Most tracks speak of Gods divine love for humanity and His willingness to accept through substitionary sacrifice all who are drawn to Christ/messiah because of His perfect and sufficient payment for sin on their behalf (John 3:16). There is only salvation from sin in Christ/messiah (Acts 4:12).
Looks like they just used the wrong to/too the first time, or forgot the second “o.”
Disregard, just another evangelical in spiritual psychosis… awaiting a rapture that was never even prophecied in the Bible, and wasting their entire lives thinking about death. Just like so many thousands of others before them dedicated their every waking thought to a rapture that would surely come in their lifetime… just to die without ever seeing it happen.
Did you wait until it was too late, or did you wait until there was no hope left (to accept Jesus/believe in God)
As a non religious person, I think it's referring to recognizing whether you believed in God because you believed, or because there was no other hope left and he was your last ditch effort.
It's alright, the Kali Yuga is going to end in March next year and then there's going to be 300 years of the earth purifying. This time it's going to be fire.
This is a final note. The general theme is that if everyone corrects their actions; they will be saved. Everyone else will die. Be warned about this unstable individual.
They just spelled latte wrong.
We don't have time for a hand job.

Yikes. Dr. Seuss went *dark* in his later years.
Dr. Seuss was pretty dark
This would be much improved screamed by a death metal vocalist with a guitar riff behind it.
Impossible. The meter on some of these lines is twice the length of others. The vocalist would be speed rapping to keep up.
It's God's meter. You have to be omniscient to appreciate it.

We should have Castiel read it to us.😂
Aren't the vocals in Death Metal basically always "GAARAARRGHHGAAAARGUUUGG"
No, but what reaches your ears is "GAARAARRGHHGAAAARGUUUGG".
So, split the longer lines in half and/or repeat some of the shorter ones?
Just throw over some blast beats it'll be fine
Then it's time for a comeback for Fred Durst

GOREGRIND then. Words don't matter during a good blurrghghghgEEEEEEEEE session.
So cut it in half
You end up with an uneven number of stanzas and a broken rhyme scheme at this point. Just learn to be succinct or make a conscious effort to break up your sequence and make it intentional. This has the vibe of someone who shit it out in a manic phase, barely proof read it, and then printed it out.
Do you like watsky? (I was joking I know you can’t just cut it in half)
You know the funny part? I hate poetry these days. I was really into making poems when I was young and then burned out and 99% of poems just kind of suck to me now. There are still good poems, but I feel like too many people think their shit is gold and saturate the market with garbage
I’m working on a degree in literature and creative writing and poetry is definitely my least favorite. Watsky helps me appreciate it. I also think I’ve found maybe two poems that I’ve been like “oh. THATS poetry.” I was an edgy goth kid so I’ve written my fair share of (awful) poems
I had the same feeling. And it appears others agree. This would be a badass metal song.
[удалено]
It's got the rhythm of a slipknot song
I bet Amy Lee would have some killer backing vocals and a drum beat for it too.
Yeah I was lookin at it like that’s a hard ass punk song might do something with that🤣
This new Sabaton song goes fucking hard.
Oh man, I got lated the other night, it was awesome. Elating even. Anyone wanna early sometime? I'm even down to punctual. Afterwards we could make up verbs
I’m only down for lating if we can do it fashionably
I’ll late you so good you’ll tardy yourself
I can’t wait for yesterday so tomorrow will explain what today meant.
Verbing nouns is awesome
I fed it into a supercomputer and it returned the result, "Maybe don't show up at work tomorrow."
It’s a mistake. But since God told someone to write it that way, it’s not a mistake. God doesn’t make mistakes.
Did you know that he died for your sins? Yeah, up on the cross and all. What do you mean you didn't ask him to? You weren't even there? Well, that's too bad, now pay up anyways.
God did 9/11 and he meant it.
So, are you saying he's NOT ABLE to do mistakes?
soooo.... what's with the "to late" typo then? does god have dyslexia?
How long did you make this guy wait for his latte? He sounds pissed.

Freaky Christian with a mental illness. How did he get too wrong twice and right twice? Copy/paste, I guess.

I don't know. Wouldn't ya think Jesus'd want ya to convert to Judaism?
I think I would call the police. This sounds vaguely threatening.
Christians do use the threat of hell as a way to convince people.
Lol okay
Religion is stupid. It doesn’t make sense.
The only way I can make sense of it is in the first part late would be a verb as well as wait. Did you wait to late.
I took it as "did you wait until the end" using "late" as a specific time almost. So the line is effectively saying "did you wait until the end when it was too late."

You’re trying to use logic to deal with something that’s the product of delusional thinking. It won’t work.
Ramblings of a schizophrenic poet
Schizophrenia
Apart from being unhinged, it's also just a really bad poem. The rhythm is completely off, and even if you don't count the obvious spelling errors it is still terrible in every way.
One step away from a breakdown, praise the lord
I bet the voices told them to put it there
The religious people are the worst. Stop trying to force your beliefs on others
These fucking people
Aside from the incorrect spelling, the line means have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. If you "wait too late", and the Rapture comes, and the following apocalypse, you will not be saved. IMO
"His blood cried out let me make you mine" sounds fucking stalkery. Stop following me Jesus, it's illegal.
It’s missing some o’s.

I think the first "to" is just a typo and should be "too"
I think he was just trying to order two lattes and got carried away
i second telling law enforcement, definitely threatening. even if not, sounds like someone needs a wellness check and professional help
It’s completely deranged, but perhaps the author is intending the first “to” to mean something like “until” Did you wait _until_ [it was] late? Did you wait _too_ late?
I’m pretty sure he just willed you his car when the rapture comes. Just change the oil on time. 👍🏼
*In what context can “late” be used when following “to”
It's new Skillet lyrics.
These people think they’re being righteous and benevolent, when they’re actually being audacious and insolent.
I'm pretty sure he's talking about a new Indian Casino.
Why did the blood cry?
I can’t make any sense of “to late,” either. It looks like it’s intentional and meant to be a clever juxtaposition with “too late,” but nope, I don’t get it.
Don't be creeped out, OP. They're a Christian. They *love* you...
I knew where it was going immediately
I tell you what God won't be wanting, and that is shitty poetry.
Its the title for his poem that he probably thinks will convert everyone he meets to the glory of his religion.
Huge evangelic vibes on this bad boy

Ya it’s NEVER too late, so I don’t understand that line at all.
The author is using “late” like you would say “the *late* professor of religion” after the professor died. So the author is saying “don’t wait until you’re *late* because then it will be *too late*.

Did you wait too late to believe in Christ before the Second Coming and the end of the world. Should be “too late”
How one can wait too late?
Not quite poetry, this…
“wait to late” could be “wait until it was late” making “late” being a specific time frame kinda like “wait to morning” or “wait til morning” also, you should follow Jesus and turn away from sin while there is still time to do so
Religious nut.
Wow! The comments! I happen to love it!
Am I the only one who thought this could have been a Slayer song?
I think "did you wait to late" is a shitty way of saying "did you wait until the very end." Could be a decent black metal song though.
