Word Play

don't forget you have to die
every day we live to sacrifice
estranged I stand from the flesh
A court ordered divorce from the just judge
leaving me cookie sheet matted,
But still i stand elated
for when this body expires
I'll retire to streets that gold plated
decrypting my essence,
to find a true presence
until this soul vainly walks no more,
obtaining treasures unknown
dwelling in satan’s chambers,
i praise the only worthy Father
who dwelled in a mortal body
his life he gave and offered up
graciously without regret,
I'll forever bow my head toward the dirt
persecuted but not forsaken,
cast down but not destroyed
tormented but not broken,
convicted by unworthy priest
but not by the only worthy father
temptations attempt to seduce me
and burdens are weighing heavy on me
as i focus on calculating my losts,
while deciding to overlook my costs
I thought I was high
but it was only my pride
it only makes sense I fell low

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Jeremy and I play a game called word play and this is what we came up with. He does a line, then I do a line and we keep going till we feel we're done. Enjoy!
