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.”
