I don't want to die
I stand at the gates
my trial stands behind them
Life or Death
It will not be life
The god of these gates
is not forgiving
his angels are my demons
though the road be lined with gold
it is not my path to salvation
The gates open
and I am dragged to be judged
I am to be judged by a murderer
St. Peter does not meet me at the gates
Lucifer does
His peacocks
symbols of immortality
mock me
I am not immortal
I will not live
past the judgment
behind the gates
