The Only Relevant Fear

The piercing stench of sulfur and death tears through my nostrils Angels of retribution spread disaster as told by many apostles My flesh melts but leaves not the bone like skin encasing the sun legions of demons surround me leaving nowhere to run I pray to be lifeless not realising I hold no breath The weight of my sins within so strong they deform my chest An unending thirst for mercy develops that can never be quenched my transgressions pile onto my spirit an I am now entrenched I have become eternally comfortless as my book of life sealed I could have changed my lifestyle but to late I have been killed This scenario alone I fear phobically and so I attempt to humbly ask for forgiveness daily to protect my soul spiritually Sha'ntez Jefferson 10/30/12 Whats your fear contest

Priceless honesty Sha-ntez - allow your strenghts to be your gifts to Deity and the Cosmos will take care of the rest - stop apologizing and start living more fiercely than ever before - J.A.B. %
