Entrapment of cultures denied of their freedoms,
constant abusement apparently no reasons.
Will the Chariots come take them home.

With centuries of denial through the passages of time,
history has shown them such hideous crimes.
Their liberty of denial was born.

So I share with you a vision of their final day,
I share with you what wishes they hold.
Outcasted alone they all gather to pray,
for the spirits to come take them home.

With winged flying angels upon roof top peaks.
inside wooded gold chariots of wheels.
Guided by stallions with hoofed black feet,
to save them from such evil and heal.

Slowly in content with a doctor at hand,
he knows his last breath is saved.
With the spirits all around all is now grand,
his path to the heavens is paved.
T.A.S.(poeticer)© 

spirits calling to the place beyond
aspired to an unearthly calm

filled with mystical conceptions
through past life's deceptions

internal confusion
formulates insufficient conclusions

jolted in various directions
disregarding all connections

will evil or good succeed?
to take one to the final deed

only goal to have definitive peace
perceive only darkness images cease

carried off to a place called home
no more chariot rides or reasons to roam

choosing a destiny stirs in the air
left to wallow in a prayer

never knowing the reason why
it's uncomplicated we simply die

where we go or what we become
is this ordained by anyone?

Time is of the essence, wish the doc would hurry
momma looked at her sons and falsely smiled
holding back tears so they couldn't see
with all her strength she rocked her dying child.

Humming so softly but we knew all the words
she held him tighter for his time was near
he said listen, momma, they're up on the roof
the angels and the chariot I hear.

...Swing low, sweet chariot...
...comin' for to carry me home...

...I looked over Jordan and what did I see...
...comin' for to carry me home...
...a band of angels comin' after me...
...comin' for to carry me home...

There's so many angels here for me
they said it's time for me to leave you now
momma's chest heaved as tears let loose
how she'd live without him she didn't know how.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray to you
don't take my boy from me this night
give him a chance to grow and be loved
please God, don't show him that light.

...if you get there before I do...
...comin' for to carry me home...
...just tell my friends that I'm acomin' too...
...comin' for to carry me home...

Don't cry momma, God heard your prayer
the angels have their job to do
but when your time comes you needn't worry
the chariot and angels will come for you, too.

The doctor rushed in but it was too late
her boy had taken his last breath of life
she held him and rocked and sang him his tune
the pain in her heart as if stabbed with a knife.

...I'm sometimes up and sometimes down...
...comin' for to carry me home...
...but still my soul feels heavenly bound...
...comin' for to carry me home...

The devil had tried but he didn't win
her boy's soul was too faithful and strong
and she knew that when it was her time to go
proudly she'd sing her son's song.

...Swing low, sweet chariot...
...comin' for to carry me home...

Outside the battle rages,
The siege is laid down well,
With weaponry insidious,
Faithless fear perfidious,
Casts its deadly spell.
Myriad forces of darkness,
Demons, powers of Hell,
Surround the house of the human heart,
Where love desires to dwell.

Love must live in freedom,
By its nature it's inclined,
By jealousy enraged,
Or by hate encaged,
Love will soon have died
Love's house can't be protected,
If we retaliate in kind.
We must retaliate in kindness,
With gentleness of mind.

Sometimes, perhaps, the weapons,
We must use don't seem quite fair,
What deadly force can mercy be?
What strength is there in honesty?
How does humbleness compare?
Forgetting all around,
Wallowing in despair,
Hearing demons taunting,
"You haven't got a prayer."

"Thanks for the reminder",
As the heart with calmness fills,
To a greater power calling,
On bended knee now falling,
The heart with hope soon thrills.
"Forgive me Lord. I need Your strength,
Your love that's greater still.
May I see, past doubt, Your chariots,
And look unto the hills."
Theophilus©

Dear Sweet Abigail,

I am in for it now
I can see the doctor clearly
but it's blurry all around

I may sound kind of crazy
but Satans in the tree
There are angels in the sky
It seems they're fighting over me

The devil seems to be winning
but the chariots are in mid-fly
there's an angel next to me
I am going to leave you now
as I make my way to the sky

Look into the smoke and you shall see
Two faces appear in the plume.
One at the top, facing left, looking off
One lower down, full of gloom.

I would surmise the top vision is
that of the devil incarnate.
Regular folk, hard to tell of his evil
not his usual color of garnet.

Further down the plume is the face of God
Full of despair, contemplating.
Should he let go of this child this night
His parents just sit in waiting.

He's called in his forces, they number quite high
To help with this task of woe
And notice the devil, all alone in his work
Thinks he can conduct this show

The top of the plume disappears very quick
and with it, the devil too
God's vision remains for some time and so
the ending is nothing new.

When fire is lit, and ashes remain
Know that there's always a reason
For cooking or heat or A soul offered up
especially in the fall season.

But smoke is never as it appears
Its reason is-something has left
In this case this night, a child rebirths
His family is saved of bereft.

The Grim Reaper, bedecked in normal attire
Leaves the doorway - EMPTY, with NOTHING
The Angels retreat, the Devil abates
Filled with sadness and loathing.

..In my final hour, as the clouds drew dark
...the terminal pain within grew, I cried out
.....you summoned my chariots, knowing
that the medicine man could do no more
...I laid and in pain, I cried out...as if the devil
.......was within me, unable to be released
..allow me my final hour. as the medicine man
....stands by the threshold of my internal pain
.....allow me this hour to cry...to scream out
keep the home fires burning and the room warm
..allow me to lay here...crying in terminal pain
......as you stand on the stairwell of my life...
and wonder....wonder as to why...I want this
....reach reach deep down inside your soul...
...and believe.believe..that in my final hour...of pain
.....pain so terrible...you can't bare to watch
that the servant, who sits at my bedside
..day after day, watches...touches...caresses
..my pain...and knowing she will never be the
.same..pleases me...she will go now..and make
..mends with her family, and that my love...will
be the hallmark signature..to why I even had to
endure this from its very beginning..so as I kiss you
from my dying bed...will you pray...for all those lives...
those lives...I did not touch...till we meet again...
remember...keep those home fires burning...and
allow me...A Reason to Terminally Cry

i just started walking, and then i learned to fly
cuz our Father gave me wings, but mama don't know why.
i feel i need to tell her, then maybe she will see,
that Jesus has a plan for us, and He's made an angel outa me.
from Heaven i saw her crying, and i didn't understand
so Jesus explained he'd brought me home
sooner than mama planned.
clouds are windows to heaven,
so I'll be seeing you
look up you just might see me
and we'll play peek a boo.
please don't worry mama
I'm in our Fathers hands
he said it will take a while,
but some day you'll understand.
if ever you should need me,
just know I'll be around,
look to the clouds you'll see me
we angels are all around.

As God in Heaven looked down upon me
He said "I am sending a chariot to thee"
"Ignore the evil spirit that lurks outside"
"My army of angels will cast it aside"

"Fear not what awaits you, it's time to abide"
"My angels of mercy will soon be your guide"
"Close your eyes and succumb, your time has come"
"For what has happened cannot be undone"

"You have fulfilled your duty as a human being"
"Putting others first without really seeing"
"How your unselfish acts have taken their toll"
"On the child I created and her dutiful soul"

His words embraced me and soothed my fear
As I lay in bed with my friends gathered near
So I did as He asked and closed my eyes
To let my ears tell me when the chariot arrives

The angels of protection and salvation drew near
The chariot followed with more angels in the rear
Descending from the bridge that led to Heaven's gate
His army of angels came to meet my fate

Their warmth and love transferred through my veins
My spirit transcended and latched to the chariot reins
The life I had lived flashed before my eyes
Today was the day God wanted me to die

One winter's evening dark and dreary
Mournful cries heard from afar
Carried on the winds of change
Until they reach the morning star

Inside a small house prayers are given
Tears of grief and anguish rise
Ascending to the throne of heaven
Descending to the king of lies

The breath of life grows shallow now
While angels from both realms appear
Watching as he writhes in torment
Soon all pain will disappear

As the book of life is opened
Cherubims rejoice and sing
Another soul is coming home!
Oh death, where is thy sting?
Solo-Flight©

And tonight a new child is born
As Time goes marching on!
Again the curtain of time is torn
As Time goes marching on!

Could this beginning be a different one
As Time will judge his fate.
Would this one be the Chosen Son
As Time will judge his fate.

This is another of Satan's lies
As Time will soon attest.
This life beginning as mother's dies
As Time will soon attest.

The Eternal Struggle fills the skies
As Time rolls slowly on.
The Eternal Struggle claims its prize
As Time rolls slowly on.

Come back in four score years and then
As Time churns steadily on.
To watch the same happen over again
As Time churns steadily on.
Jerry L. Helbig©

We live in a world where angels fear to tread
Obscure human fears, obscure human dread
We live unaware of the other side
We see not the struggle that turns the tide

The trumpets sound a tune loud and bold
With a heaven-hell struggle over each singular soul
A person is called to their only true home
Anguish awaiting or a heavenly throne

We have only questions, no answers abound
Our mortal coil tightens as our feet touch the ground
We forge our fates link from day on living day
A chain taken beyond, do we leave or do we stay

The rapture is coming, for one and for all
We wait unknowing, we wait for the call
We can't choose a place or a day or a time
Another mere mortal standing in line.

My parents lay me down to sleep
They cover me and hope I'm safe

Silent in the darkness
I hear them coming

They come each night
As I drift to sleep
Chariots bright
Champions of good
Demons scorned
The slayers of evil

They battle each night
For the souls on the innocent

The conflict continues
Until the dawn
Battles rage, never a winner
They pull at me
To join the fight
To make my choice
For good or evil

Throughout the day
I know they follow
Tempting me to side with evil
Sometimes so easy, and I am ready
Till the voice of reason
Keeps me steady

Before I sleep I ask my parents
Who wins the battle of good and evil?
I am told my heart will know
The choice is mine which way to go

I close my eyes
To dream sweet dreams
Wishing one day that I will know
When the battle ends
And I can dream in peace

They battle at night
For the souls of the innocent

The night is dark, the sky's ablaze
Loved ones and relatives in a daze.
the house is quiet, the doctor arrives.
Shakes his head, he won't survive.

Each minute last forever, the clock ticks on.
Every second is precious, then the words bellowed loudly he's gone.
Cries of grief screaming into the night.
Hearts breaking, what a heart wrenching sight.

Beyond earthly feeling, tears and remorse.
Spiritual being begin to take their course.
Another soul entering into this realm.
The valley of the shadow of death being read from Psalm.

A spiritual war has taken place.
Between good and evil, who will win this race?
Another soul to attain and use.
Heavens gates are open but the devil has much to lose.

This man was honest, hardworking and sincere.
He held his family and friends so dear.
Lived his life according to the law.
His soul is in the hands of angels, they won't let him fall.

Good against evil a driving force.
His cup runneth over from a heavenly source.
Sweet chariots released to carry him home.
Surrounded by angels, this soul's not alone.

The night is dark, the sky's ablaze.
Loved ones and relatives in a daze.
A spiritual conflict has taken place.
Though heavenly warriors have run this race.

A soul at peace forever more,
as a somber doctor stares at the door.

Within the depths of the Dark side
Chaos and disorder begins to ink its way in.
The intense desire to partake in a dreamless sleep
Shadows over the land below.

The air to breathe be forever still
Moving only with in the Wings of the Beast.
Carrying them within the sanguineous skies
Disciples of Beelzebub fulfilling a mission of destiny.

Foretold generationally to the power of twenty.
The coming of the "Chosen One"
To be found in the simple form of Man
Residing within a humble abode.

Far below the crimson diablerie skies.
Hovering upon the breast of Mother Earth.
Clinging as if for dear life.
Enveloping those residing within.... safe haven.

PowerFul......untouchable by mere mortals
Yet the chosen One ......be of Human flesh.
Clean slate........no past thoughts .....dreams ...desires.....
Only the present need to fulfill the destiny.

The "Chosen One" being the last hope known to Mankind.
....... may prayers be heard.
Rise up to the cause Ohhh little One.
Our fate be held in thy tiny hands.

Demonic cries cast a forbodden veil of doom.
Sounds trapped within the fanning wings
Deafening to those with in the humble abode.
Held captive to the whims of the Prince of the Dark side.

Rising up for the Cause
My familial name I know not
Nor Who I truly Am.
YET I Am the chosen One.

Mere mortal I be .... only BEGINNING My Life's journey
Insignificant Earthling Am I.
No power these tiny hands posses.
YET it is I .... the sardonic cries address.

Winged creatures hovering over with in the blazing skies
Impatient hooves thunderously pounding over head.
Unsavory beasts of the ARCHANGEL of the Dark side.
Strategically positioned to deny the destiny of the "Chosen One"

Of into the distant horizon
Silent promises of a new day now approaching.
Early Morning Rays shall caress the cheek of the "Chosen One"
As foretold in the prophecy ...ManKind reprieved from everlasting doom.

I drift into the slumber state
ready to give in, to meet my fate

spiritual visions will over ride
keep me from harm, God as my guide

the hurt I endure is too intense
I am too weak to make sense

I bid you farewell may my memories sustain
peacefulness passes over me, no more pain

In you
I will confide
There is a place
Where the still heart beats
While worlds collide
In a time
Long ago lost
By the coldness of the frost
That dwells
In the boundaries of your heart
Guarded by steel
That holds all you think and feel
And keeps that
Which sets you apart
But you have to be
Who you were meant to be
So bring down the wall
And you’ll see after all
That life is worth living
So bring down the wall
And learn to be giving
By helping those that start to fall
So bring down the wall
Then you can learn
The way the pages turn
So bring down the wall
And then come in here
Where magic reigns supreme
And life is but a dream
You can have all that you desire
But first you must dream
So let the magic take you higher
To where it begins to seem
That life is but a dream
Then you can learn
The way the pages turn
And it starts with but a dream
So go to where it seems
That life is but a dream
And then stay a while

In you
There is glory
As well as hope
To break the mortal bonds
And write your own story
To have faith
In what is true
That’s defined by only you
And by the
Purity of your spirit
And look to love
When the pushes come to shove
And know
It is you strongest merit
So try to be
Who you were meant to be
Let it come from the soul
And let the change take control
It’s the only path to perfection
So let it come from the soul
And it’s endless affection
It’s the greatest power that you hold
So let it come from the soul
Then you can find
Your own peace of mind
So let it come from the soul
For joyous is your light
And may it never ever dim
Let it shine from within
Through all the challenges you face
Let it shine from within
In all of it’s perfect grace
For life will truly begin
When you let shine from within
Then you can find
Your own peace of mind
So let it shine from within
For life will truly begin
When you let it shine from within
For this is the way

In you
Is the presence
Of all good things
So reach deep inside
And draw in its essence
Then challenge
Those evil things
That corrupt all of our dreams
But never
Join them on their level
For we may only be men
And every one of us has sinned
But we can
Still defeat the devil
But you must be
Who you were meant to be

Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Comin' for to carry Mama home
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Gonna leave us children on our own

Well, Doc was a-called in the middle o' the night
His Model "T" a-racin' to our Mama's side
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Comin' for to carry Mama home

I looked o'er to Jordan and what did I see?
Jordan was a cryin' jes' like me
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Comin' for to carry Mama home

Bravely tryin' to hide tears, not a dry eye in the house
Even Dog was a-whimperin' so low
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Comin' for to carry Mama home

Mama's weak voice was a- whisperin' out to me
"Johnny, fetch my Bible... Read to me?"
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Comin' for to carry Mama home

Well, I brung it like I's told, and I read her favorite verse
My throat so tight I choked on that "Amen"
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Comin' for to carry Mama home

Mama let a cough so weak, then closed her eyes, and breathed a sigh
In that moment Mama's pain had gone away
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Come and gone to carry Mama home

Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Come and gone and carried Mama onward home
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Come and gone and left us children on our own

The Angels sing
A chariot they bring

The devil lurks in the distance
Waiting to claim my existence

A man in black waits at the door
Rubbing hands, waiting 'til I breathe no more

My family gathered around
So many tears can be found

I lay here thinking back in time
Of so many memories that fill my mind

Memories of good and bad
Some happy and some sad

Funny I feel no pain
Hoping, Heaven I will gain
hunnybunn_3© 

Before the gateway of now and forever
my limbs lay useless, my heartbeat faint
my mind runs the race of remembrance
my tears flow from regrets and sorrows
of living and loving, more or less
wishing some things and wanting others
ashamed that at even this hour
there lies hidden deep in my heart
a love that was neither revealed nor sated
I take thee secret love to my death
Oh Chariot of Life, judge me not guilty for loving in secret
rather judge me for the depth of that love
and the fortitude by which it remained secret
Shall I pass and be swept away on the Chariot of Life,
Or am I fodder for the Devil himself 
given over to obscene and lustful ways
for living dreams to substantiate my desires
that ran parallel to my living
Do I believe, do I want to believe
I hope, yes, I hope and pray
for the struggle between good and evil
to end where You will it
Each faint heartbeat releases the pain of living
and loving subsides... but death
places me alongside my secret love
for all eternity
Reina©

Angels from afar and high
Come to help me say goodbye.
Devil's waiting like a vulture
Hoping for some hellish torture.
Doctor tries as hard as he can
Hoping to my mom's young man.
Dad's in tears, but standing tall,
Hoping not to feel it all.
I lay peaceful in my bed
Blood is clotted on my head
Listening to a heavenly song
Wondering what takes them so long.
911 to chariot too
As it rumbled, thunders grew.
Soon my soul will rise like smoke
As I whisper "Love you, folks.
Cry not for my passing now
To heaven's rest I humbly bow.
Sing great songs of spirit's cry
As I ride into glorious sky."
Bye bye, Satan, eat your own
Hellish heart and hellish home.
Mine on earth with parents was
What taught me heaven, taught me God.
Now I lay me down to sleep
Rest my head in angels keep
Let my soul in love be kept
As I die and slowly slip
Into arms of love and light
Soon the Son will shine all night.

Conditions arise my lady...
I saw to it that things would be better.
Plans and wishes
kisses without misses;
yet bold am I not to fly,
to cause a distress
signaled on such not to bless?!!

What with a bedeviled jam through chariot skies,
not to lie,
but shall thy keep a smile so high-
to rise all eyes,
and not to despise or disguise
a puzzled face to calamities geste?!!

Just see that love will survive
all contempt or alibis...
placed on control
to this lover's quest.
And then the time will be my lady,
that things will not end to briefness
but will factualize a resistant strain
to Satan's smokestack lightning hex.

Hail hail the lucky ones!
The guarded fortress of this home to keep...
away the wretched demons stay,
far from their madness...
thrive the meek.

And lady I do say
that nothing can penetrate us today...
even the wicked ways of evil cannot...
or will not let thine heart go astray-
or be lost in befuddlement
in dishonesties haze.

Inside the cabin he's knelt in prayer
Demons of Satan surround him there
Chariots from heaven arrive to assist
Demons of Satan now really pissed

Prayers for help he calls out loud
More demons arrive from up in the clouds
The door flies open and the demons all leave
They didn't realize God was up his sleeve

Demons of the devil are strong without doubt
Call out His name to the Devil just shout
For with Him by your side the Devil will run
But temptations of sin will never be done

Prayers cast up are answered for all
How they are answered is not our call
Keep in mind He has a master plan
He is God, we're merely man
mwm© 

Descending angels, taking flight
Upon a heavenly mission have been dispatched
To accompany and protect the ceremonial carriage
Which has been sent to transport you safely home

Forces of evil, skulking about
For their final ambush, they lie in wait
Assembled and hiding, in full strength
Their final stand they are about to make

I sit upon your bed, holding your hand
As demons battle within my head
Do I release you into heavens arms
Or fight to keep you here with me

Keeping constant vigil with two earthly angels
We watch as you slowly slip away from us
I want to cry out, Stay here with me
Do not leave me here so all alone

You gave me life, taught me how to dance
You filled my life with devoted love
Never asking for anything in return
It's much too soon, will I be able to let go?

The angels are waiting to take you home
To release you from all your earthly pain
I fear not, I know the Lord will take care of you
Satan has no chance of capturing you.

I whisper to you, hoping to remain strong
Mama, please don't worry about us
We will be fine, you can now let go
Oh Mama, I Love You So!

I gaze upon this face, which I so deeply love
Gingerly I stroke your hair with gentle fingertips
Softly I place my head upon your chest
And listen, as you gently take your final breath
