Judgement Day


On this day, here I stand, first giving honor unto God Eager to give light unto those who can't find their way out of the darkness Aspiring for things greater Reaching for things higher and Seeking lengths farther than my own wingspan Grabbing hold onto all things good and tangible Praying for blessings that I sometimes sinned for and Crying during nights when life turned off my nightlight and spooked my faith with the ghost of failure But my pillars of strength refused to fail me To this day the glory of my father presents all things worth dying for and everything my mother cried for In the depths of my soul lies hells kitchen Where blessings are crafted as failed recipes Where life lives not only in the dead but in the hands of sinners turned saints Atheist conformed to religion and the grayscale of black and white This nation I preach to is one of many who will fall come judgment day So like a prophet I come bearing knowledge of better days to come and here I stand lastly giving honor to God ready to die for Judgment day.
