So Long To The World

Gives me something to righteously hate

I delight to know your end is near

I am thrilled to help deal you the death knells

For I no longer tolerate you or your fruit

I'll no longer tolerate your seduction of my brethren

Goodbye to you, world

This son of God will help destroy you

You will writhe helplessly under the heel

Of the One who will crush you

And I get to help Him

I disdain you with the purity of Christ

Stephen Pursell,

Except that your very existence

You have nothing that can invite

And I will hereafter always be rapt with meaning

Since the Author of true substance has taken me in

How could you hope to keep me now

And I am no longer vulnerable to your enticements

My heart has seized upon Reality

The un-ness of your ideas is exposed to me

For I have found the answer you only pretend to know

And I actually seek to contribute to your demise

I care not for you to know my name

In the face of eternity

You are less than worth mentioning

For you are a hollow shadow of real Life

Your value system leaves me empty

I know your outlook holds nothing for me

That you offer anything worthwhile

I have exhausted the possibility

I am done with caring for your input

System and mind of this world I address you

I may not matter to you by your standards

You may not care for the my way, my 'style', my face

You may despise my philosophy and hate my God

But I am free of your rules
