On The Second Level Poem by Ron Rector

On the second level,
only one, knows so far,
how many there are.
These levels
progress, fame
are not the same
on this level.
Are you there?
Do you know?
The second level.
By submission,
you are judged,
on the second level.
Nothing off limits,
that touches a life
on this level.
Know your addiction
know what matters,
on the second level.
Nothing is hidden,
nothing is seen,
on the second level.
Devastation comes
in rapid succession,
on this level.
Job knows your trails
and you know his
on the second level.
Everyone you know
will pitch in,
on this level.
If that’s not enough,
then God himself
on the second level.
Everything out,
everything in,
the question of faith,
no longer applies,
on this level.
Know economic
and social crucifixion,
on the second level
Hold on,
is easy to say,
and so hard to do,
on the second level.
Now you know
the first is gone,
when you're on
the second level.
