The Watery Grave

The watery grave
Is proof I was saved.

It wasn't my death
Only the funeral
For a life on Death Road.

God is so practical.
Doesn't use dirt
Only a liquid grave:
A useful coffin
For useless life.

Then a watery resurrection 
Fresh
Innocent 
Pure 
New
Something that has never existed before
Rises powerfully,
To an endless life
With unnatural desires
For a consummate God.

Exchanged offering
Exchanged capacity
For a watery entrance;
Unfair 
Outrageous...
Wonderful !.
