Analysis of A WAKE UP CALL !!
YOU ARRIVE AT CHURCH SERVICE BUT NO-ONE IS THERE,
YOU OPEN THE DOOR ONLY TO FIND THAT THE CHURCH PEWS
ARE EMPTY AND BARE.
AGONIZING THOUGHTS START FILLING YOUR MIND,
YOU REMEMBER THAT LAST WEEK THE PASTOR WAS
PREACHING ABOUT WHAT THINGS WOULD BE LIKE
FOR THE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE WHO WILL GET
LEFT BEHIND.
THE HOUR IS LATE, LET ME CLOSE OUT BY ASKING
HAVE I SCARED YOU STRAIGHT ?????
