The Choice Is Yours

The end is near 
Though many do not fear 
Only few keep watch
With his name they keep in touch

Some have eyes and do not see
Living in iniquity they believe is to be free
The wise keeps the word
To flee the sword

Crux of the matter is life or death
To keep clean or drown in dirt
Be free or be in chains
Eternal joy or forever pains

The choice is yours
As time lingers on
