    Hallelujah!

    Strong smell of dust
    Tears fell off chins
    Blurry vision of the day
    Rain drops slam the door
    Sounds like a roar
    Feeling sore
    Tables are shaking
    Peace has been taken
    Furious earthquake
    Tea and cake
    Hallelujah
    Innocence and pure
    Narcissism and grandeur
    Humanity fades
    Hallelujah
    God is watching
    Time is launching
    Surviving a shredded life
    Dead fish cannot dive
    Hallelujah
    Useless atonement
    Jaundice moment
    Blacken the blackness
    Murder and madness
    Hallelujah
    Nothing is odd
    Failures and blood
    Bleeding brain
    Simply empty
    Bleeding again
    Even Iniquity
    Earthquake exposed
    Earthquake explained
    God is watching
    And, hallelujah

    With some work this could become a good poem, but I'm going to be honest.
    This poem seems like you just threw together words that rhymed and called it a poem.

    Rain drops slam the door
    Sounds like a roar
    Feeling sore

    That's got some nice imagery but it all seems strange and mismatched. Also the 3 instances of rhymes is extremely awkward. Maybe you could explain the meaning, and then it would be more clear how to critique.

    you're right, finding the right rhymes has been distracting me and might affect on the finesse of the poem.
    About the mismatching; I think finding more than an action from various places, times and meaning might add a sense of perfection to the poem.
    Let me know what you think.
