Apt words have power to suage the tumours of a troubled mind.



















- Milton.


When the world comes to an end,

 and when I'm standing in line

to account for how my life went,

will lawlessness shine

or justice be mine?

On that day,

amongst the nameless and the great,

would I be able to claim

my fire that was blown to a flame?

 

When the world comes to an end,

and when I'm standing in line

to take responsibilty for my life

to account for how my life went,

Will lawlessness shine

or justice be mine?

At that final moment,

when God says "Dear child,

what wrongs did you mend?

what rules did you bend?

did you sin and then pretend?

with your foes, did you make amends?"

 

My answer though defenselss

hopefully will be true,

My last hope will be to break free

while new heaven blazes through.
