(A lone voice whispers)
Press play before reading. Salute.
And so it rained inside
For what seemed like forty days and forty nights
As I wandered in the desert alone
When the hard times and the whispering low voices came
Mild and wild feelings
Peaked to unknown or unexplored heights of anxiety
To merge together and to then twirl their silver big batons high
As they danced in absolute unrestricted ecstasy as they unfurled
All the hidden memories and opaque trophies of troubles and strife of so many nameless returned
Twisted and contorting my opened mind like I was been stabbed with the Devils sharp knife
But as I prayed and weighed up the pro's and cons about the living
And the happiness still to be found within all seemingly sorrowful lives
A vision of a white cross appeared and soft eloquently spoken words echoed throughout my ears
"Do not be scared of life and all its fears
Do not be scared to shed some sad tears
The smiling days are soon to come
Keep your faith in the one true One as in this life you still are allowed to run
After your time is called
So many will be saved and rescued from the mighty fall to Abaddon
The Dark Lands of the Fallen Ones"
And so I walked on smiling
My death in Golgotha would be my gift to the world
Who am I to be late when the world I see before me
From Bethlehem to all the other city gates are filled and overflowing with such jealously and hate
Let me help to reintroduce kindness compassion empathy and love into this sad world
It's why I was sent by the Most High from above
