"Destined Minds"

The Wishfullness of Imagination

Beyond the cold damp soil of the grave
lies desire and wishful thinking
that all men crave

Beyond the reach of fearful darkness
lies the peace that beckons
that leaves all men in such accursedness

"Rest in Peace" the stone tablet says
but you are six foot under
of what was once but now portrays

the mortal silence of wishful imagination
and now the judgement
and cold stark realisation

that life is not about wishful thinking
no sugar and spice and all things nice
but into the fiery abyss one is sinking

for the rejection of that simple truth
that can only be found in Christ
gone is the opportunity of youth

gone is the wisdom of age that could have brung
you sweet relief and joyful living
and praises to God you could have sung

So "Rest In Peace" if you think you can
amidst your wishful imagination
and the worship of man
