GHOSTS FROM THE PAST

Only eternity could give an accurate account
Of the fatality of evil we’ve contributed to the past
For the memories of those times keep chasing
Of how unconcerned we ripped out life from others
And denied them of the privileges life offers
But much more than these memories
It extend to some at the point of success
To state an accusation before every blessed opportunity
Restricting them from reaching their desired height
Frustrating the effort gathered for the future
Stripping them form the harvest they have laboured for
For they keep them away from destiny
As Ghosts from the past.

Many atrocities men have committed in the past
Ignoring the day of reckoning and harvesting
That automatically follows every seed time
In whatever a man might have sown
Keeping after its similitude for reaping
For this won’t go off easily
Until something definite is done on time
To forgive the former sins of the horror past
By the washing cleansing Blood of Christ
Yet without an effecting of this truth at the right time
They keep pursuing man in life without notice
Hauntingly bringing sorrow to every joyful moment
As Ghosts from the past.
