The Proposed Baptism Of A Deviant Poem by Maurice Harris

Thoughts were rife of you this week, and what should have been;
Acceptance cannot come without knowledge of what could have been.
All who loved you deserved so much better, yet there is still a chance:
Accept and embrace His Grace, and realize fully its significance.
A vessel for your salvation is still here and shall thusly endeavor
To provide reprieve for your soul and offer a more fruitful forever.
God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son,
Redemption may now come for you, where there seems none.
Should you accept this offer, it will not restore what you stole,
But it will go a long way toward rebuilding your shattered soul.
You become immortal when you truly embrace His Light-
You may now efface the sins of your past and do what's right.
This offer is not without conditions-though there are not many;
This is the only offer you get while there, where there are not any.
