The Dark Gates

Sakwa Franc

Lo! I stood and saw something awful

Billows of smoke arose again

No sign of life was shown

A man appeared in a white dazzling garments

In his right hand was a acroll

 

The scroll was unrolled and I saw names written on it

Written above the names it bore a title

*The Dark Gates* where Death reigned

Pestilence and disease were increased

No one was safe in these gates

 

Wailing and gnashing of teeth were heard

A crowd of hungry people  appeared

Both old and young with no life in their bones

With their voices they faintly chanted

" We need life , we need life"

 

A monster arose and stood between dark gates

With His ugly fingers he took the scroll

He gazed on the names and replied

" All of you are my servants becaues of sins"

Bound with chains of fleeting pleasures of life

 

People doomed to death and destructions

No hope for new life and refreshment

There was still hope as a voice was heard

" Repent and turn to Author of Life" Who is the Author of Life ? They asked

 

An eternal constitution was opened and read

*Acts 3:15* You killed Author of Life

But God raised him from the dead

They repented and life was given to them

A monster was slain to death in his Dark gates

 

 

**** Believe in Jesus Christ and you shall be saved for He loves you and cares about you everyday...I am a living testimony
