Poem
A talk with the devil One night while watching television I suddenly fell asleep And when I open my eyes This stranger I did meet A wild looking creature, Bolder then I had seen Somebody shake me and Tell me this is a dream. I did not want to be here, This is a mistake Wake me; shake me, Before it is too late. The creature began to laugh, As he laughs so hard; You are down here to stay So said the Lord. You had your chance To live a Christian life But you didn't count on Taking this deep sleep tonight. Listen careful my child, Don’t you hear the bells? You missed the streets of gold And ended up in hell I started to scream and plead to God; He never heard me as I stood there in the dark. People was crying and gritting Their teeth; my night gown caught on fire From the intensity of the heat I yell out with pain saying Forgive me, this is a mistake I realize it was the devil when he said; Take your place I appointed You in the lake. All while you live, I stayed hard on your back You down here with me And there is no looking back I showed you things That drew you from God Not giving you a chance To receive him in your heart Oh foolish one, how foolish could you be I did not want you in heaven, But down here with me. You did not have to come here, Or allow yourself to be fool I do what I want, I got nothing to lose. I know how heaven look, But I did not care I want all of God’s people for myself Maybe you should have loved God without a doubt The day I got unruly up there, He simply put me out. .I got all kind down here With me, young and old I am out to kill and Destroy all of God’s souls. As I talked with the devil My heart did ache My head hung in shame Because I knew it was too late I scream loud as I could To the top of my voice Suddenly I open my eyes And grabbed for my heart. I remember everything I had seen that night I had no time to waste, To get my soul right. I got one more chance To try to save my soul I got one more chance To walk the streets of gold. You may say that this is a poem, And you are right But what if you fall asleep And go there one night? Do whatever it takes To live the holy way Time waits for no one, It must be today.
