Lost
The Road to Redemption Can Sometimes Be a Harsh Journey..
They Sendin out the posse
on a search for the lost
but what about the po soul
at the foot of the cross
surrounded by the Phara
and the Sadd U cees
steady keepin a brotha
down on his hands and knees
their eyes blind and ears deaf
to his cries and pleas
holdin their religion in his face
they taunt and they tease
Deliverance can be yours
for the right amount of cheese
or tithes or dues
or time in the pews
aint nothin good about it
it just the same ol news
came to the church for help
only to be abused!
somehow the brotha got away
dazed and confused
tried to ease his pain
with the drugs and the booze
it aint workin anymore
got to take it up a notch
in order to fund his habit
he starts slangin rocks
needle marks between his toes
cause his veins are shot
now broken and battered
brothas clothes are all tattered
catch him walkin down the sidewalk
and the people all scatter
he ducks into an alley
so he can get his high
but little does he know
that he's about to die!
somethin's going wrong
and my man can tell
his heart starts pounding
his hands begin to swell
he tries to run run help
he stumbled and fell
so much pressure on the chest
gettin hard to inhale
just a few moments left
then eternity in hell
darkness all around
but he sees a ray of light
frantic and cryin
he turns his head to the right
he knows that he is dyin
yet he tries to fight
sees some graffitti on the wall
reads "its gonna be alright!
his body start convulsing
his fist clenched tight
he tries to take a breath
it takes all of his might
he cries
Lord I lived my life wrong
but I wanna die right
to the best of his ability
he recites a sinners prayer
that he had heard in the Sunday School
the few times he was there.................
he closes with amen
and his last breath of air
no more pressure on his chest
no more worries
no more cares
no more misguided solutions
for his problems in life
he finally found what he was missing
relationship with Christ......
now his earthly life is over
and his eternal one starts
Forever Soakin in the Son
cause he surrendered his heart!

Post a CommentAn amazing piece. Very powerful, insightful, and most of all anointed.
Awesome :) Sheri
WOW, WOW!!!
Wonderful! Some churches condemn people away from Christ instead of to His loving arms. This is excellent. So many times I've prayed that dying ones heard that still small voice in the end.
I love this!
Say Higher Power too, and it works for me. Let our consciences be our gods, some of us may not be Chrisitians but still try to do good. -- mike
Thanks MMOG , continue to Increase the Peace :)
Thanks Sheryl and Demetria...and Sheryl...it was in my own rebellion against the wrong messages of organized religion that I stumbled across the "right messages" in some unlikely places and through them I discovered relationship with Christ...now I'm "Soakin in The Son" myself! :)
Dude - this is so cool! It shows that despite "organized religion" sometimes sending the wrong message, that the right message still gets out there and is remembered by many when they reach the end of themselves. When we truly search out the meaning of God and life, who Jesus was (and still is) and how He can help us, everything comes together.
I really appreciate that last line. It is so wonderful to know that someone has committed themselves to Christ. Loss is never easy, but the knowledge that our loved one's aren't lost is a blessing.
