John's Death

He went to a man who realized that men

Were to be masters of spirits controlling them

That they are even to be judged  by them then

And that each has a horn they wear like a diadem

He also realized spirits struck them with fear

And legends propagated by gullible man

That those who would then judge them would hear

And run rather than try them though that they can

And others were so kind they fooled them to gain

The inside track in the race so they would forgive

But the Angel of Death retired for the constant pain

For he wishes each one would not die but also live

Now there comes an advanced human that doesn't fit in

And he has the power of a God without

But he is to take the dead to their end for their sin

It is his lot for he was a prophet no doubt

And he came to that man that didn't realize that

Some things had changed and the human was not a man

Or a God--what he did was take them to hell like a rat

That feeds on the dead does  them no harm in his plan

And he came for the man a short time after he died

According to God who saw no other way

For he was dead in spirit He had to decide

For he said in his mind, "I'm like their Jesus this day,'

Though you are not saved and never will be I'm afraid,"

Said John to the man, "For you thought you're God,

And will never change your mind. Your decision is made."

And he tried but he couldn't ask Him which he thought odd.

And John's Death took him to hell and he crossed the line

Where he stayed to await the lake of fire his sign.
