Strapped In to Die?

Many of you are in for a ride. You’ve been on several rides but now you are tall enough to get on the biggest roller coaster of your life. This one is faster than you’ve ever experienced.

You will not be able to repress how this ride affects you. Your eyes will widen as you grip the bars and your heart pounds. There will be interference of gravitational influence. You will be disillusioned by a false obligation forcing you closer to others only to be sucked away again. You voluntarily put yourself on this ride, waiting in a line and paying for the loss of self direction. You fly like a DNA helix on steroids. You sense the depolarization of earth!

You feel the slow upward ascension while you hear the clicking landmarks of your experiences, with the knowing you’re not sure how going over the top is going to feel. Stuck to the back of your seat, you hope it will be exhilarating.

Well my fellow humans, you got on the ride. You paid for an escape from your lonliness in the form of this temporary high.

You peak at the highest point. You see the people on the earth below and the generation before is nervously watching. Some of them just don’t care.

You see conflict, lies, unjustified hatred, selfishness, desecration and cruelty. You realize you have been subjected to these things throughout your life. You remember the golden bright lights shining from the hearts of some of the people you have met. You are very high for seconds before the earth begins to rumble and shake.

Horrified you see that the rales securing your car are slipping off their tracks as the earth quakes.

You cry out for God to save you.

You witness collapse beneath you as you realize you do not have wings to fly and even if you did, you are strapped in. Hellish screams, sparks and crackling metal surround you.

You followed the crowd. You gave away your autonomy. You, the bird attracted to the bling, wanted to belong to something. You were “along for the ride” without understanding or having any regard of the core mission of what you have allowed yourself to be a part of.

After burns, dismemberment, severe pain and last thoughts, your body dies.

You are tall enough to ride. You are not a child any longer. Life is a roller coaster. You alone decide who you ride with and how great or not so great it is going to be.
