The Right Exit

(Monday 23rd September, 2009)
 
When you think of your life
And what you have done
Will you be free?
Will you acquit yourself?
Or is judgment passed
The black cap donned
And with it, no more?

Do you win when others fail?
Go where your foes dare you?
Talk when silence is demanded
Do you fight when no other can?
Take heart in the dark times?

Or do you stumble?
Fall when others flee
Dig in when all is easy
Go down when they are high above
Fail
When others around you cannot

When you think
You reflect there on 'Judgment Day'
Can you say, hand on heart
You were a man ... or mouse

And when all's said and done
Your fate decided
Will you take the right exit door?
or plunge to fires of hell?
