The Inner Switch

Suddenly as godless as Sodom,
But only in it's mind's brain,
It is filled, used and filled again,
With those yearns, years laid at the bottom.

Swiftly, like a coal train goes down-hill,
Only in the mind again,
It offends and feels no pain,
This heart is frozen, and conscience's chilled.

Practically void of the spirits,
Tuned to offend like radios,
more selfish than mosquitoes,
Yet knows in the end, these he must reap.

All the need is for the self (mere dust),
For someone? It's him to please,
Or else put his flesh at ease.
He has changed like the thief on the cross!

He has changed like the thief on the cross! The last line speaks volumes..If the person has changed through the acceptance of Jesus as Savior then his life has changed but oh, the regret that comes with a selfish life..Thanks for dropping by my page..This is very good work with several poetic techniques used in the lines..I think it is called enclosed rhyme in some of the stanzas like stanza 1 and 2 as the first line rhymes with the fourth and the second line rhymes with the third....Sara
