Sonnet on Thought Alive But Dead

THE LIVING DEAD

Your reputation says you are alive

But you are dead so strengthen what remains

And is about to die and start to thrive

For your works have not been found  complete in God's sight

Remember what you received and heard for keeps

And change your mind but if you will not wake up

He'll come like a thief for the sower also reaps

He'll come against you and never will he make up

But the one who does his name will not then be

For blotting out of the book of life for sure

For he will be worthy of it and made to see

If not for Christ there is no other cure

But the one who does will be as those not soiled

And walk with Jesus in white to never be spoiled
