God's Cowards - For Contest
God’s Cowards*
Sad demons roam mind’s endless plain
searching blindly - frightened prey
clinging to their earthly pain
waiting for the “cowards day”
Seek instant absolute redemptive
inclusion in the “Rapture”
lifted from their hiding places
freed from evil’s capture.
Sad demons roam mind’s endless plain
searching blindly - frightened prey
clinging to their earthly pain
waiting for the “cowards day”.
Shun the solace of the Saints
cold sanctuaries towered
creep about in shadowed fear
where God’s cowards - cowered.
