Salvation?

Salvation?

Oh my aching soul that lies crying on coals

I’ve frozen out the fire and the tears on the ashes are cold

Happiness stands with her back of solid stone

I’m abandoned and alone from destiny’s ice thrown

Belief brings comfort but to me that’s merely seeking shrift

The admitting to unearned guilt about which there’s nothing gilt

Absolution sought for nothing bought

A mindset cess created leaves a mess

We end up all together as lifeless matter

Back into eternity from where we started our journey

Does life begin at conception after sin?

That’s the declaration of religion on life’s origin

But truly we’re told we were known before we were born

Optimistically were never dead

You’re going to live forever with aunt Fred

Ain’t that a thought to dread
