How sad that when you die <br />You do not even know <br />Eternally where you will lie, <br />Perhaps adrift, in galactic limbo? <br /> <br />How tragic, when the Way is there <br />Each day it's laid before you, <br />Yet blocked inside and under <br />By Pride, a self-righteous halo! <br /> <br />How final will the outcome be <br />As Damnation claims its own, <br />To late for choices then, you see, <br />When consuming fires have blown. <br /> <br />How foolish then to play a gamble <br />With one's soul, to win or lose? <br />A toss of the dice won't be able <br />To declare the Truth we must choose. <br /> <br />Two destinations surely tell <br />Where we all will finally go- <br />God's Word says there's a Heaven and Hell, <br />So now, where do you want to go?<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-sad/
