Caged Souls
It was a bright beautiful day
A lovely beautiful sunny day
Suddenly ghostly winds appeared
They became violently raging
I was caught up in it
I was neither here or there
I found myself trapped in a place
That I was not familiar with
It was a place full of souls
The souls were wailing and crying
They begged me to set them free
But I could not reach them
You see there was a gulf between them and me
I could not reach them
Some had signs on them that said
"I'm here because I did not obey
Others had signs that said "I did not believe
While others said " I did not forgive"
And another one said "I blasphemed his holy name"
They was wailing and gnashing their teeth
They were all trapped in those cages
And being tormented by their sins
Whatever they was tormented with in the first life with
They was tormented eternally with
A teat dropped from my eye
One soul tried to grab it, but it quickly dried up
I felt hopeless because I could not save them
Then i heard the ghostly winds return
They swirled and twirled violently
And with the blinking of an eye
I was back where I was
The day became bright again
And I said to myself
"That was a trip, I sure hope I don’t end up in that place"
