The Dark Knight with a Troubled Soul
Posted: July 20, 2008
Not even The Joker can escape Judgment Day…
Heath's ledger proved the bottom line
is more than fame or Oscar's shine.
The Joker knows (what soon all will)
there's more that must add up.
The dark Knight with a troubled soul
will give account for his life's goals.
But that is true for all of us
when we face Judgment Day.
The "good life" isn't all that bad
and yet Heath seemed so often sad.
This Brokeback wrangler played a gay
but lack a lasting joy.
The "good life" (even with good works)
won't compound in eternal perks.
All ledgers will be audited
with just one thing in mind.
Did you accept God's sinless Son
before your time on earth was done?
Don't take a chance.
Spurned grace means Hell.
And then the joke's on you.
