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"
