Cast not thyself down

God at work, man a replicate He made

Condition of rest an inglorious exit took

Life as taser gun sending waves of shock to crush

Tranquillity gone, neither crafter nor crafted know

Peace corrupted by sin; the absence of rest we contend.

 

Lost it has many, the balance unable to keep

Subdued and worn-out everywhere is found

Failure of love, disappointment of hope; betrayal of trust

Economy in anguish; a pile and litter of bills

Final notice through the letter hole threaten

The emissary of death; redundancy plays host.

 

Painfully from life they stride off

Wearied and tired, from earth they clock out

Yanked away; hope spiral into oblivion

In the rail track or cliff the grief trails

A dream shredded, resident below ground forever

Greater grief when hell’s gate beckons a welcome.

 

Cast not thyself down

Though the devil calls, the deceitful lip shun

The entreaty pleasant may seem, destruction lurks

Claws hidden hanker for blood innocently shed

Resist and flee but your ground hold

Get thee behind me; with faith command.

 

Wait, wait, wait, and cling on

Strength renewed the dawn bring

A new day from night depart

With grace joy like sun rise

Prowling the evil master wander

A leap from the pinnacle on sale; suicide embellished

Like Jesus; refuse, reject, rebuke

Cast not thyself down.
