The Spirit Was Destroyed



Was it fear that killed the spirit
Or the spirit that killed the fear

All you know at the time is that both of them died
because they chose to live different lives?

Will you be a conqueror that can reverse the curse?
Or will you be defeated by the plunge of insecurity?

Should I now listen and use logic that rises the hope of success that resurrects and connect
Or rely on illogical practices that leave the mind always wandering and take away immediately the blessed life of recognizing truth or lies
which ones will you honor or choose to dismiss

Will your outcome be of sweet peaceful rest or more distress that torments' the weakling's flesh, which profits the soul nothing after the rudeness have set up an infection that no one can cure
Or will you Live by the sword of God’s words so there will be no need for violence or disobedience
or any need for prosecution or execution
Its hate has been blotted out
And all creation can freely live again
