Your Time

[dolos]

There’s a thing that unifies us
Always will as has done before
Were all riding on a bullet
That’s racing for deaths door

For your shot has now been fired
And when time finally pulls it up
The one thing you will want to measure
Is how much good was in your cup

Some say no after life can happen
We’re just walking pieces of coal
But it’s one thing that I know for certain
It’s deep down in my soul

I’m sure there is a heaven
As I’m sure there is no hell
You’re here to learn your lesson
And you better learn it well

For we all will face the moment
When this earthly life is through
Then you will stand in judgement
It is you who will judge you

I wonder how your feeling
When the shoes on the other foot
Your made to feel the repercussions
Of every decision that you took

Every time you tore a heart down
Or a friend you turned away
When someone else was hurting
Did you look the other way

How many bridges have you burned
How many promises have you let drop
How many hurt by words you’ve spoken
How much suffering did you stop

It’s not to late I tell you
Once you understand the way
It’s hidden deep inside you
All you have to do is pray

Now time is of the essence
It’s something you can’t stop
So use your moments wisely
Drink life to the last drop

This is a truly incredible piece. It's intriguing which is probably what I like the most. It seems to look one direction and then take you in another. I loved it. I think it clearly gives a truly surreal interpretation of the way things are for humanity. People just don't understand that it is thier actions, not God, that will be thier final judge. Of course God acts as the Judge, but He judges according to our actions here in this life. People need to wise up and I think this poem, would be an excellent educational tool. Keep it up!!!
