Analysis of Lead All Souls to Heaven God

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



Who had it worse?
The early Christians
Or, the newer ones harassed?

The saints alive,
Or, the saints
Who passed?

We weren’t
Burned at the stake.

We weren’t drowned,
And not stoned to fate.

We weren’t crucified.
We weren’t fed to lions.

But what about us, testified?
Were we tempted more?

We have access to
Digital technologies, and more?

We are exposed to
The worst slime,

All on a computer,
The worst temptations of all time.
