And Where Are They Now? Poem by PHIL WINTER

And where are they now?
But traveling to a far off land
Their journey a disappearance,
An experience...an appearance!
And who are they now?
But souls rising from the far corners of the earth
To face the angels of eternity!
And where are they now?
Those who once breathed and loved
And dreamed of gains and fame?
And where are they now?
Those countless numbers of spirits?
They languish in an unearthly world
Ripping the clouds apart
Floating in space,
No longer singing songs of praise!
And where are they now?
With eyelids closed to earthly things
Those,
Regretting their deeds of ugliness and shame
Wait weeping,
To enter gates of damnation:
The culmination of their destiny!
