So Clappy

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



An endless sea of conjecture
Is what I hear in Revelation
Not from me and not from God
But on every radio station

Can they not see? Have they not read?
That God is never changing
We all will stand before him
At the judgment; no complaining

Everyone is judged in life
According to his deeds
And no one will escape it
No matter how much he pleads

The judgment is for what was done
While you were in the body
Whether it was good or bad
Don’t let your eyes be haughty

Oh! Get out of here someone said
But that is not going to happen
You’ll surely die; you’ll lose your head
While others stand there clapping
