Ashes To The Phoenix

-Ashes To The Phoenix-
by

In the sky
Oh why
God of fools
Judgment sent
Persecution meant
Down it comes
Like it or not
You’ll pay the price
Such a livable life
Choices to make
Decisions to regret
Ashes to the phoenix
Smoldering off set
Out of sight
Out of mind
Reality is a farce
Duality made clear
When no clarity exists
No one knows
What is really going on?
And if they do
They categorically refuse
A blind eye sees nothing
Avoidance will be king
At least until the kingdom falls
Until all that we are
Is no longer a viable option
On that darkest of day
The end will be
The only one thing
That is undeniably real
Ashes to the phoenix
Because all that rises
Must in time
Come crashing back down
An earth bound affliction
And in many ways
A dereliction of duty
All that is created
Must be destroyed
God cannot save us
Because he must judge us
He cannot change our fate
Because our fate is part
Of our shared punishment
From above comes the end
Down below we will go
Into the depths of forever
What will happen next
Is quite unclear
We won’t know
We won’t be able to tell
Will we never rise again?
Or will what we are change?
Such questions must be asked
Before the reality of the answers
Is indistinguishable from the reality
Of the lives that we are currently living…
