His Law

[Soul Tribunal]

Lord, just one favour
before this last breath
is due
Give me the match
setting fire
To chaff
Old and new

Let it burn,
pain un-ending
deserving
It is my lot, and laying in;
State
The world becomes, a better place

I was too late in learning,
the one life I should have saved
was,
in the end
my own
