' Death ... Trapped In Time '

… Death … is being Trapped in Time …
where you no longer exist… or Soul-Climb
Time reverses You… then It Stops
when there is no use for a Body-Clock
and where there’s nothing left to Find
… Death … is being Trapped in Time

If You Think I am being Harsh in View
go Check a Casket… You will see it’s True
Dig to a Grave… Go open A Tomb
Only worms and maggots, Move in that Gloom
and Decaying Flesh and Bones, turn to Dust           Gen. 3: 19
or only Ashes in an Urn… or Autopsy, that’s Us

… There is no Past, no Present, No Future
There is no Motion, Whatsoever
No Breathing, No Knowing What Happens or May      Ecc. 9: 5
Everything is Wiped Away
for You, there is no Day to Day
where You Lay… is Where You Lay

… It’s a Jail-Cell, with Unavailable-Key
Soon… You won’t even Be
And The Only Truth, That Sets You Free
Stays in The Almighty’s and Son’s Memory               Mal. 3: 16 … John 11: 24, 25 
But, if You treat Them, like the Enemy
There is no Parole, or Pardon… Not Any                    Matt. 12: 32

… in Death… there are no Dreams
No Ghost Wandering, No Unholy Schemes
No Haints Scaring and Bringing Suffering
… These Things are from The Darkness (or Honest-Imaginings)
God’s Divine Love is First To Bless 
The Beloved Dead… Rest in Peace … Unless …           Matt. 12: 32

… You will never have a Moment, Never Again
You will never meet Loved One, nor A Friend
You Have No Remembrance in ‘ That ’ Time-Frame
for You are Paralyzed in Time’s Chains
… not Conscious, no Feeling, No Life Force
You… are no longer Visited, by That Source               Rev. 20: 14, 15

There is no Travel, Once Its Done …
Time, got Stuck on You … When Death Begun
Pressed-Frozen, Pitch Black, No Air, No Life-Sign
Death… is being Trapped in Time
 an Unmovable-Fire… and Suspended Flames
That Won’t Release, What’s Trapped in Its Blaze

And Trapped in Time… is a Place So Still…
That Nothing There Too Long… Can Remain Real
But God, Has A Promise, for You and Me
( … that’s if You Move Towards Eternity … )
And He Warned Us … Not To Lag Behind …                            Matt. 25: 10 – 13
‘Cause God is Taking Death … and Trapping ‘ It ‘, In Time …   Rev. 20: 14
