Sin Aged

by Ken Pullen

Written the morning of Thursday, May 16th, 2024

No delusions here

seen in any mirror

no longer wasting time

one of the greatest crimes

nothing to fear

as fleshly death draws near

I’m an old man with no illusions

freed of the web of delusions

watching from the window of the world

all the absurd

banality

insanity

sin aged lives

cacophony of noise

sounding like an 8,000,000,000 plus

buzzing hive

vainly foolishly lost imagining they thrive

are truly alive

closer to death than any know

tragic majority

overwhelming number

convinced they are the higher authority

as they write their eternal horror story

sin aged life

rife

in

lies

listening like Eve

oh, the lie of the beautiful cunning Serpent so delightful, seductive

what may be within of God taking leave

sin aged life

sooner

rather

than

later

while slowing down

energy waning

unable to live those consuming days of activity

no longer having that proclivity

flesh is continually draining

of what it was

sin aged lives

finding the narrow path leading to what is truly wise

one time, most times priorities no longer matter much

having seen, heard the voice from the blood stained tree

where One sinless, God in the flesh, was nailed bleeding instead of me

sin aged lives

only walking dead

deluded

dust

worse than a once productive machine left outside to rust

oh, wicked lost man, woman, world

can you see the Way

hear the Truth

taking the dust destined for eternal death

Second Death

hear, see today

the Light through all the noise within the darkness

sin aged lives

final breath coming

last heartbeat will pound

what will the sound

in heaven then be

“Oh, so, so eternally tragic they refused to believe in Thee!”

sin aged lives

no matter young

middle

old

sold into bondage serving the Evil One

though almost every one of those sin aged lives

deny

clueless

refusing awareness of their sin pulling them into the depths of hell

unless, until they come to hear

see

know

believe in the Son

sin aged lives

foolish

vain

selfish

lost

being in darkness as darkness

doesn’t have to be that way

starting today

if

if

if

when

sin

pierces the spirit as the spear pierced His side

and life-giving water flowed

from the tree of shame

oh, sin aged life “Come” and in Him abide

reside

along this narrow path, see that wee gate ahead

now washed, repented, believing in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ

cleansing a sin aged life

white as snow

oh, come to know

before ending up eternally dead

acknowledging that spirit within

rather than all the rubbish filled in your head

seek, ask, knock believe

sin aged life

knowing now the ways

wisdom

words

of the world

only

lead

to

death

knowing

now

a

sin aged life

can

be

saved

that

there

is more, eternally more than the

grave

sin aged life cleansed in the blood, faith of the Lord

saved

spared

from the venom, deadly bite of the Serpent that was such a seductive elixir

in that sin aged life

now redeemed

sin aged life

old man peering in the mirror

aware

knowing

the slowing

wrinkles

graying

decline

hurtling the flesh to death

all due

to

disobedience

self delusion

while the world rails, wails, resists

persists

in denial

spending billions

in pretending

into

the

grave

their sin aged lives are descending

so thankful

peaceful

to my Lord, my Saviour, my Friend, He who took my place

I grow ever nearer…
