I am standing at the gates of heaven asking, “Is it too
late?”
Forsaken—the world beneath rejected is who I am.
I began to tell my story to heaven’s ears.
Forsaken—I was tricked into turning tricks.
I was out for a dime—glitters, glimmer and all that shit.
Killed before I had begun to live.
I thought my Lord was so unkind.
Forsaken me?
The man up on the cross that died.
You saved the whole world.
But you forgot about me my Lord.
I lied.
I cried.
Onto my next trick, to afford my next fix—the mix that was too rich.
I cried.
Onto my next trick, to afford my next fix—the mix that was too rich.
I got lost in a deep, darken ditch that was cold and lonely.
I felt my body reach its last twitch of life.
Out of space and out of time of course out of my mind.
I was wronged by life’s perceptions.
I was twisted about reality unknowns.
Nowhere was I missed.
Suddenly, I switch my mind unblind.
I see the light that was bright and for once right.
Am I too late?
“For thou shall not kill,” said you, my Lord.
My Lord you hate a liar, a thief, and a murderer.
I lied to get here.
I stole.
I took the very life that you gave to me freely.
“Ask and you shall be forgiven,” said you, my Lord.
I am asking and I am dead.
Was it I?
Me who forsaken me instead of you, my Lord?
Have I cheated myself out of entering your heavenly doors?
The poem makes U feel as if she is truly sorry for the choices she had made in life, and figured out it was too late...
ReplyDeleteYes it would appear to be that way or is it too late?
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late.
ReplyDeleteIf we view what the bible has to say, we would think late is not late. In John 11: 14--"So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”. (41-44) Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. "Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me." Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go." This is according to the Bible.
ReplyDeleteSo this leave me to believe that even in death if she believes--it is not to late!
