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 Eight Word Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Emile Pinet 8/3/19
