Left Behind Over

x

I used to wonder

How I got it

Wrong

How I was tricked

By devilish

Personae

And didn’t get to go

Above

Beyond

Wherever all the heavenly

Got to go

x

I am on Earth

When it’s called tribulation

To be here

And to be here

I have to have my forehead

Marked

Be ready to pay

Bars of gold

For bread

And who knows

If any water

Anything is safe

While nothing is

x

I wish it hadn’t come to this

x

A savior

Styled by self

And people

Rises

A liar

Who looks

Oh

So

Well

In public

Yet drains us for itself

Ready to execute

The life from those

Returning

To the faith

x

And me

Should I feel the blade

Of death on Earth

For heaven

x

A heavenly force

Arrives

And all again is overthrown

This time for victory

Of belief

And real power

Manifest like matter

From creation

x

It has hurt

It has been trying

Life

And death for faith was awful

Now it’s done

x

And is it a dream

For sirens of

Earthly missiles

And a moment

To decide

x

So

Decide
