READY...? (Rewrite)

READY...? (Rewrite)

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

How will you know when to be ready 
To let go of ties that bind and Times so heavy,
Yet detached in all such earthly co-dependently 
Stuck to wars, family, life of need & plenty empty.

How will you control the fear of never / knowing?

How will you understand or find morning's gate?
So quick and cruel to hurt all others with a weight
Of guilt and self deluded conditioned mind full o'hate
And a confusion that is ignored, all truth shoved away ...

When do you let the chains un-link, if not today? 

Who will you picture with your last breath 
The ones who wronged you, losses, and fights?
Yourself screaming in the hollow of loud regret? 
Time is magic and brief - a blink of light 

Who will champion you beyond dark night? 

What is waiting - pain? or nothing at all? 
Does not knowing amplify the dreadful waiting
Did you do enough good to balance your complaining?
Are you ready--wreck every wall you've made tall...

Have no fear, for what is darkness but life gone blind?

Who did you love and hold up high, when high?
What did you witness in all the world's sights?
Are you ready for the final night
Fateful destined heavenly flight... 

When you're ready. The fear turns white.
