And We Shall All Not Sleep

and we shall all not sleep
there is a way that pretends to be right
but in the end we'll reap.

and we shall all not sleep
death has a narrow door that promises escape
for those who earnestly seek.

and we shall all not sleep
for He has risen from the dead
yes-He is not asleep

and we shall all not sleep
for some of us shall rise
yet death is a dark black hole 
descending ever deep.

We have no choice but, to physically die; that, "dark black hole" will get all of us someday; well penned. Still, the soul never dies.
