The Dead Among The Living Poem by Lagaya Evans

Why can’t they see
As they look all around
The one that’s among them
The one not found

He hides in the crowd
And his life slips away
The dead among the living
As they turn the other way

As his soul dies inside
Everyone turns their face
His blood on their hands
As they stand on judgment day

Everyone passes him by
To sit in their seat
The dead among the living
Dying at their feet

Pews filled with believers
That claims his victory
One among them dying
How blind can they be

They give an altar call
For the faces that’s new
The one sits among them
Every Sunday in plain view

Please open their eyes
And let them see in plain sight
The dead among the living
Dying in the light
