All you humans run and play,
You do your business every day,
But little do you all know,
Evil let’s not its crafty head show,
For those who are sleeping,
For those awake,
It preys on them all,
It waits to take,
The light from this very world,
The hope from every heart,
While you still slumber and ignore,
That it has come to rip apart,
All our cities and all our towns,
Already it’s done its damage,
Already it’s made its mark,
Already laying wait in the dark,
How long will you not see it,
How long will you be blind,
How long will you wait patiently,
To leave your brains behind?
See, it’s not coming!
It’s already here!
Can you not feel it?
It will shed no tears,
When your homes corrupt,
Are sealed in fate,
And all your families,
Have taken the bait.
Even now it works it’s deeds,
Even now it makes you slaves,
Even now you make yourself helpless,
Even now you become empty caves,
Filled with air and bleek thought,
At the end of time you’re given your lot,
For in life you failed miserably,
And let your mind be obsolete.
For each one has a choice,
Now it’s your turn,
To let it continue,
And let it burn,
Or make out of you,
A good true being,
One of upstanding deeds,
And thoughts of virtue.
Let not your eyes be clouded,
Or evil haunt your ways,
Let past be past,
And righteousness guide your days.
The end is near,
It’s always coming,
So go with it,
There’s no point in running.
We are the future,
The children of God,
We must stand firm,
By Jesus’ blood,
We have a way in which to go,
So do not wait,
Do not lay low,
That’s when evil comes,
When it lies in wait,
For your very soul,
And hopes to trip you,
To make you fall.
So guard your door,
And set your light,
For you never know,
When it will be the night,
That time will stop,
And light will fade,
The stars will fall,
And life shall trade,
Become a part of new life whole,
Beyond our realm,
There goes our soul,
Steering the great helm.
Keep watch!
Fight justly!
Let evil flee,
And the Lord be with thee!
Er comes the hour,
Er comes the day,
We must be ready,
In every way.
So guard your heart,
And guard your mind,
Lest you be torn apart,
And your soul get left behind.
A poem I wrote when I was sixteen. The underlying message us simply to be a good person to others, for you never know when your day is coming, there may not be a later!
