Not Raised From the Dead

When all is said and done

you've stopped breathing 

nearly six days ago

 

visions of raising you

three years ago

it's all about psychology

you know

 

denial in the mind

is a powerful thing 

make believe

 

delusions

sometimes of grandeur

wreak havoc

in consciousness

 

God said:

"Make deciples  of all nations,

heal the sick and raise the dead."

 Context matters here. 

 

You're missing something

but you need to find it

for yourself

 

I can't tell you

even though I know

something other than

what you think

is true 

 

God's wisdom is

mysterious.
