Despair

are you so afraid to look at death because it would impair your ability to live?
or are you that self-induldged that you can not find it in yourself to forgive? 

time is near the layers of corpses will be eased into a mass grave on a slide 
are your thoughts full of memories of death that hinder the limbic region of your mind?

the hand cart is rolling for the tare those seeds will be thrown into the fire 
and the weakened thump of a vragant vessel loses compassion and desire          

will your soul be magnified or  diminished before the throne of God? 
will you be weighed for righteousness or pointed out by the saviors 
rod?

good post i know a few men diminishing..it is sad to watch but what do you do? you have to leave the remaining alone..i am watching two men sinking in judgment, you can not control others sins against God or supporting blasphemers and so forth
