Belly up!
The end is here
What you believed
Now crystal clear.
Nothing that
You gained or lost
Ever came
Without a cost.
Fame and fortune
A fool’s gold
Can be exchanged
For one’s mere soul.
Satan beckoned
The lure , the lust
So much to lose
The love, the trust.
Hard to resist
You wanted more
But always knew
What was in store.
You held your own
You did believe
You tried your best
In time of need.
Trinkets gathered
Now left behind
All that remains
Tarnished in time.
Though you tried
You couldn’t win
Would not conspire
Give in to sin.
You watched in wonder
Shook your head
Before you knew it
You were dead.
Belly up
They found you there
They passed you by
They didn’t care.
But welcome home
Into the fold
As you were promised
You were told.
Passing thru
The pearly gates
Rewarded for
Your strength and faith.
