If you guess and what to ask me about it just send me a messege. [bodytext] => There is no reason for your prayers.
To redeem your sins and unclean affairs.
You may think that I am benevolent
But what makes you think that I’m not malevolent
Maybe you do not believe what seems to be
And you’ll deny the truth until you see thee.
To know of my life is so know of my everlasting curse
I must cherish what I destroy and destroy the thing I cherish; do you think your life is worse?
Sacrifice your life to me, bend upwards towards my kiss
For life, as of now is only a memory of bliss.
As you lay upon the ground holding on to your last breath
Ask yourself, am I God or only merciful death?

Im no doubt going to be way of track nothing new there.
But I see is a struggle...in life there is a so called balance....where one who does evil onday can do something good the next...so keeping the balance....I dont know how far that arguement can be stretched...We destroy something one day....and spend a lifetime trying to heal a our wrongs...but in the end...we all still die it is our choice to who we reach for....in our minds each has there own interprutation of what we look for and who we see once our last breath leaves...and our hearts finally cease...what we do in life may or may not effect what we will experience in death.
Told you id be way of track bit of a mouth full aint it ;D
Beautiful poem....I like reading poems that cause me to think to look inside for an answer...awesome write keep em coming and thank so much for sharing.
