Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

This Mortal Coil

Am I destined for hell
An eternity of woes
The wraith waits addicted 
And the demons fight for my soul

It seems I struggle 
To abstain from
The temptation of this
Mortal coil

Our Savior
Did not die in vain
He was crucified, slain
And lifeblood drained

For all my sins future and past
So that I may have
Life everlasting
In God's eternal light
