Positive Transformation

O how had I always fallen back; With days full of retrogressions, alack! I was degenerate; Surely a youth of no notable rate. My existence was like an ungodly song With defiled rhythms was it sung Wherewith I dreamed no dream And saw no, not a gleam For there was no light in me to reflect; So my star could take no effect. I was consumed by the darkness Of mundane blissfulness, Which was deceptive to inward madness. I thought I was living happily; Alas! I was dying virtually, Forgetful that Life could wane out for itself alone And hand over me to my Maker whom I never knew. But there came an hour At the Annual National Campus Community Congress Of the Deeper Life campus fellowship Entitled `Excelsior` For bringing Life and Hope to intellectuals And equipping them to reach the utmost height: Where I wholly got transformed. I was taught to be purposeful, and not lust to be conformed I could then soar to the farthest height And ignited became my light Revived to live for Christ the Saviour After which I farewelled failure.
