Escaped Again (For Those Who Need To Hear This Now)

written in the hospital; "The Angel of Death Has once again alit at my side He brought his side-kicks, Pain and despair They danced about me, enjoying my fate... I had ecsaped their clutches Four times before Their vengeful glee Was evident to me The fog of confusion I had hid in so long to escape their claws Vaporized before my eyes, Like my will to fight Pain's cruel delight at my torture Almost would have amused me Had I the strength to fight They bring darkness with them Cloaked in fear I have known others, who have beaten back demons far more determined With sharper claws and longer horns Their will I admired Their strength I envied I was too weak this time Worn down with misfortune With evil in their eyes They danced with glee It had finally come- The end of me." Post-script: "Sometimes death is the better option When the politics of pain have proven their power. And remember- No One!! lives forever except for Jesus and the like. And they likely live...to the reality you are about to enter."
