Emotional Slag

faith stands
the body falls
flames consume
the body falls
Satan controls
the body falls
Jesus saves
the body falls
un-needed
faith stands

the light shines from beneath my door
hidden from me forever-more
the light i’ve seen and even touched
once was true, it gained me much
the darkness floods and fills my life
it fills my world with pain, with strife
the darkness wins, the darkness rules
here on the earth, the darkness pools
it overflows, it kills, destroys
possession, lust, its bitter ploys
it rampant runs and lives possess
it makes a fucking awful mess

I lie here now with eyes of glass
And watch events that come to pass

Far to my right a red light flickers
As on my left an small group bickers

They say it was an awful mess
Of what they speak I cannot guess

Above my head a twisted mass
Of burning metal in the grass

I overheard the medics state
We can’t save this one, it’s too late

It took a while for me to see
The one of which they spoke was me

This mess was no one’s fault at all
Another truth of alcohol

To pay his folly, I not he
Will soon just a statistic be

As darkness comes and takes me whole
Of all my thoughts I lose control

A woman comes and takes my hand
As I slip from this unfair land

She glances up and her eyes rise
As one man lives and one man dies

Dedicated
to

Dreams, Thoughts, and Aspirations
Love, Lust, and Hate
Joy and Depression

the driving forces
of
the human animal

and

to God
Who made all these things
