Is Life a Purchase of the Heavenly Ticket

Death! Is absolute the ultimate fear, yet many, find it the cause of so much aggravation. Still! It’s tops in the profit stakes, wielding “Wide screen, splatter delving special effects.” Cold shivers to counteract hot steamy nights, where evil, always appears to be enjoying its renaissance in a script full of moralistic rebuttal. Always! It seems for some, easy to find death, easy that is, when one consciously puts in the effort, while in pursuit of that leisurely free ride, on the “Roller Coaster” of their pitiful lives. While all avenues lead to the abyss of one’s impetuousness, some gain a subtle peace, some an intolerance, depending on one’s saturated faith. Every day the media drives home the message. (Perhaps haplessly somehow to prepare). “Yet many idle minds somewhat still unprepared.” Juvenile times seen by the establishment, as a time of unrelenting passion, a time to mould one within one’s ancestral image, a time of eternal days, blended with logic and conflict. A world ready to tolerate all aspects of one’s “Liberality.” A politically correct environment that cannot, (or is not allowed) to discriminate against good or bad! “Yet it is evil this day, that wears the ‘Angelic smile.’” Still! Most believe (at this time,) there is no mortal reason to purchase the “Heavenly ticket.” Each and everyone it appears, “Nonconformist to the core.” © Harry J Horsman 1995
