Local Deaths Bring On Thoughts
“What was that?” I said in shock.
“I heard a bang that shook the cot.”
After 6 bodies were found in just 5 days.
I had been scared in many ways.
In this quiet, agricultural town.
Usually, there is not much going down.
There hasn’t been a murder in some time.
Now, there seems to be all kinds.
One was killed in a shootout with police.
A winery owner killed his investor with a shot.
Then, with police chasing, about to be caught.
He committed suicide on a whim.
Saved us the money of a trial for him.
Two older folks were found.
Dead in their apartment. Neither was bound.
The woman died about 3 weeks ago.
She was sitting up, fully clothed.
The man had been dead about a week.
Naked, lying on the floor near her seat.
Then, a man about 56 years old.
Was found naked, dead, and cold.
He was found kneeling in a freezer.
Weird way to go, even for a geezer.
He had been in there for some time.
I have no idea what was on his mind.
These things all happening in a week.
Is kind of scary, the rest of us think.
It’s another indication of ‘the end of time.’
‘It will wrap up soon’, is on my mind.
God’s presence is slowly being withdrawn.
Satan is running rampant among the fallen.
“REPENT!!, REPENT!!” time is very short.
When the angels make their report.
Make sure your record is washed clean.
By the blood of the lamb, I mean.
Then, no matter what happens next.
You are saved for eternal life, I’ll bet.
There won’t be death or killings then.
A perfect world, like ours should have been.
And a perfect universe without an end.
