Down To Me
by JJ JohnsonBeneath the shadows last night I met with Death
To welcome her cold embrace
I promised her my life
But she turned her back on me
I replied I'm already dead and unafraid
She proclaimed I had an alter destiny
I asked "how long must I wait to embrace my fate?"
She just told me to ask Eternity
Defiantly I decided to find another way
She whispered spending life absorbs a costly fee
The gravestone made of brim glows with anticipation
For engraved the letters of my name will be
The fingerprint of my soul etched upon the surface
A beacon for Lucy to come and claim what's left of me
But wait she must, for the spirit to cross over
While God toys with the trembling condemned flesh
Containing the prisoner pleading to be free
The end deliberately delayed for the pleasure of more pain
And God reveals his light and love are two parts of his trinity
Where darkness is married with his sin of hypocrisy 11/21/2012 Posted on 11/26/2012

| Posted by George Hoerner on 11/28/12 at 03:17 AM Nice write JJ, much to ponder. I will stay as long as I can put up with the balance of love of life and hate of atrocity/torture in all its forms. I can accept the later for myself but not for all of the living innocents. |
