Last Chance

One by one they seize and plunder your soul Wailing tormented screams from down below The vile and fiendish are hovering all around Gnashing their sharp teeth; fists they pound Sinister apparitions are shadows in the night Scratching and clawing with all their might Careful or soon your path will lead you to them Life will be futile when they choose to condemn Run a righteous race or take a potluck chance Satan's demons will take the lead in your dance There's time to change your ways before they do I thought you would heed my warning, if only you knew October 23, 2020

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here", as Dante wrote. Better by far to heed the warnings and fight the good fight, as Paul wrote to Timothy. Congrats on your win, Mark ~ John
