Now or never

the time has come
the hour is now
now or never
now is safe
safe for the truth
safe for tomorrow
tomorrow is far
tomorrow may never come
come for you
come through
through the fire
through the wall
wall of Jericho
wall that cracks
cracks on a pipe
cracks and causes
causes of war
causes to die
die for a cause
die is cast
cast iron
cast the stone
stone the woman
stone the man
man without sin
man of god
god in heaven
god sips
sips and slips
sips the wine
wine and dine
wine till morning
morning glory
morning stretch
stretch the thought
stretch the mind
mind of mine
mind the glass
glass jar
glass from grain
grain of sand
grain of salt
salt and sugar
salt and taste
taste offerings
taste before you drink
drink to life
drink before you die
die…
life…
