They Walked Away

The tax bill came; They could not pay. Their bank foreclosed That very same day. They dejectedly walked away! Another child; One too many to feed. The abortion clinic "Took care" of their need They callously walked away! Young evangelist preaching; On the corner of the street, Desired that the people And their Saviour should meet. They rebelliously walked away! They left this existence, Very far behind. Their names, in the Book of Life, God was unable to find. They sadly walked away! Charlie Pelota
