Urgency
If a child is about
To place a hand
In the fire
Will you not slap
It away
Talk to it
At least ‘No’
attempt to say
With those who ignore God
Isn’t it about the same
Ignoring the only name
That saves
From an even
Greater fire?
Of eternity’s loss
An even greater cost
Will be extracted
Than one burnt hand
They will spend infinity
In a far worse land
Desolate, dark, wretched
Bleak, gloomy
Colorless beyond all words
No second chances will
Be given after death
None will be left
So shouldn’t there be
A greater sense of
Urgency
Importance
Not just for ourselves
But for every human
On the face of this planet
Only this one chance at
Life is granted
We belong to God, Christ
By them we are owned
So let us never grow
Too Apathetic
So we will never have to moan
‘If only’
