Today, Not A Good Day To Die

There is a good day to die But not today I could hear their heartbeats As they clung to their chests I saw different shades of rosary Chants of "Allahu"rented the air Then it crossed my mind Is it today? We all want to make heaven But none wants to die This doomsday seems close As hyperventilation set in Why should a man wield so much? To determine who lives and doesn't Still, like a serpent I stayed calm I should have written my will Many portray it as a death sentence But it only makes me responsible It is not a death sentence What happens to my dependants? Will death defray my responsibilities to them? Maybe I should have gotten life insurance Better have it and not need it Than need it and not have it Now it seems closer I could feel me tense Sweating and trembling Suddenly I heard a voice Peace, be still This too shall pass away For I am with you Who are you i queried This time with a louder voice I am, the "I Am That I Am" My covenant will I not break For your sake, your chariot is preserved My Angels are with you Just let not your heart be troubled And your eyes single I will do it again If the heart of kings is in My hands Is there anything to hard for Me? Panic attacks vanished We conquered thanatophobia As the time cometh Those sons of perdition approached Suddenly, they turned on themselves Just like the days of old They left the way they came His words did He not break For today, not a good day to die!
