Fire, Ice, and Spew

With apologies to Robert Frost

 
Some say the world will end in fire
Other say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Yet there be those who hold this view:
That worldliness and vice
Are not destroyed with fire and ice.
But moral lethargy's accrue
With lukewarm senses dulled so nice,
Divine justice will spit and spew.

- D. Benning

Compare Rev 3:16  NKJV
"So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."


Note: the first stanza is Robert Frost's poem "Fire and Ice"
