Life goes on despite having someone mouth off doesn’t it?

Last Chance
by Michael Doyle

Tell me now,
Do you have the cognizance
That you might somehow
Understand the fruits of consequence

And when God speaks to you
Dropped like a ton of bricks
What language does He use for you
Or, are you just agitated by a thousand pinpricks

As you signed your name
Walking right over top of me
The seeds you've sown will leave you lame
That's putting it politely

In all of your patent insanity
Displayed by your own hand
Drawn into nothing less than your vanity
It's become easy to understand

That your indiscretions are widely known
But mostly known by God above
Your true self is long since revealed as shown
So stop pretending you know anything of love

I have left you stone cold and away
For you to make your own path
Those that know me best care little for what you say
One plus one is not too complex of math

Don't forget that I know who you are
Or how I prayed for you and stayed for you
Going so far as to create in you a star
So, instead of lies, perhaps you should tell things true

Have you realized yet how far you've gone
That you're hurting others with your games
It's to the point that I won't allow it to go on
Enough of your lies and calling me names

You have confessed you do this out of sheer hate
You are on record acknowledging your bed of lies
So stop please before it's way too late
And there's a judge looking straight into your eyes

Greedy ways sometimes gets the very best
And you, my former friend, have failed the test
Life is not to be play as if it's a game
And when you lose, it's only yourself to blame

Last chance...
