This last poem is about the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). Here is what historian Howard Zinn says about this war:


"A volunteer from this state of Washington wrote: 'Our fighting blood was up, and we all wanted to kill 'n***rs.' ...This shooting human beings beats rabbit hunting all to pieces.' It was a time of intense racism in the United States. In the years between 1889 and 1903, on the average, every week, two Nigroes were lynched by mobs-hanged, burned, mutilated. The Filipinos were brown-skinned and strange looking to Americans...Our men have been relentless, have killed to exterminate men, women, children prisoners and captives. Active insurgents and suspected people from lads ten up, the idea prevailing that the Philippino as such was little better than a dog..." -  The Twentieth Century

If your not putting all your trust in our Lord Jesus and his precious blood, you should find the following sermons more terrifying than any horror film ever produced by Hollywood:

The Holocaust of Hell, by Dr. David P. Murray
Fire Which Cannot Be Put Out, by Dr. Ian. R. K. Paisley (1926-2014)

The text for these sermons is 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 (Audio):

"Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you. And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power."
