Lost
Ensnared
Chained
Dying from within
Deceived
Forgetting
Ignorant
Further losing grip of the inward being
The soul
Engulfed in the lusts of the flesh
Suffocated
Suppressed
Trampled upon
By this outward earthly shell that will someday expire
Deprived of the living waters
To quench its thirst,
Its quest to worship
The soul has lost a foothold
Overwhelmed by iniquity
The transgression of the flesh
Drawing it further from its creator
Yes it aches
It can already taste the torment it will endure if it does not gain a stronghold
Desperately it tries to gain a foothold
Alerting your conscience when you do something wrong
But still the flesh suppresses it
Slowly its slipping away
Unfed
Hungry
Thirsty
It can not fight any longer
It shrivels to nothing
Like a tree stump forgotten in the ground
There it remains
Quiescent
Not murmuring
Letting your flesh have its way
Hoping someday you will gain understanding
Discernment
That this world is not yours
You are here for just but a short while
Your life is like vapour
Like the flowers of the field
That flourish for a season
Scorched by the sun
They wither away
And nobody remembers they existed!
Then when its all said and done
GOD will take HIS spirit away
There it remains
Waiting to be watered
Nurtured
Fed
From HIS living word
That it may not endure the torture of hell
But enter HIS presence
Robed in white
Yes it aches
Awaiting resurrection
Listen to your inner man
It is there
Your soul
Let it worship the living GOD
That it may not be condemned
Wake up world!
Its a battle for the souls
Take up your cross daily
And follow HIM that saves
