Does Ever Eternity, Mortal Souls Beckon

Does ever eternity, mortal souls beckon
We in fragile shells, its calls so deftly defy 
Because of our deep lusting, dark set, and wanton 
We seek our malignant pleasures before we die? 
In our vast swirling soup of craven vanities 
Our own dark deceits imprison our aching souls 
Life culminates, dreams fill up with insanity 
Blinded to the truth, justice, and life's coming tolls.

As invisible evil darken tendrils spread
Busy world gives cover, life flees ever onward
Mankind too often stumbles, while crying in dread
Leading to aches, a life cut by sharp broken shards.
O'That high Heavens would this insanity stop
Reveal the invincible light and man's soul heal
Plant anew, seeds of love, reaping a bumper crop
With divine mercy, stop mankind's dark-lusts to steal.

Does ever, this wicked world slow down, take a rest
Cease using night's cover for tempting man's dark lusts
Bow to the truth, stop ravaging that life besets
Seal those Hellish gates just below earth's shallow crusts?
Will malevolence, return peace to those living
That which Eden did bountifully its fruits yield
Serenity, happiness, blessed gifts giving
When life sat under God's unconquerable shield?

Does ever eternity, mortal souls beckon
We in fragile shells, its calls so deftly defy 
Because of our deep lusting, dark set, and wanton 
We seek our malignant pleasures before we die? 
In our vast swirling soup of craven vanities 
Our own dark deceits imprison our aching souls 
Life culminates, dreams fill up with insanity 
Blinded to the truth, justice, and life's coming tolls.

Rhyme, 
( Cry, O'Heart, Of Thy Willing Darkness That So Binds Thee )
Dedicated to my friend, Ladylabyrinth and her truly great poem titled, "Our Meridian", that inspired me to compose the first stanza in a reply to its magnificence and inspirational voice beckoned.... RJL
