Close Enough Yet Far-Fetched

It sucks to be an eye witness,
I once witnessed and never witnessed no more,
a legless dancer on the bar,
a blind fortune teller telling zombies when they gonna die,
a deaf prophet in a court hearing
and a dying poet preaching life to the dead

the scene I saw  left me speechless,
with my eyes closed and heart frozen as ice
as I slowly walked away from the scene
but closer to the nearest exit
which unfortunately was closed
blocked by bones of extinct creatures
that previous preachers kept in store
as sacrifice for the second coming of Jesus
but soldiers of the cross never get such things crossing their minds,
so I thought this call is mine but why me?
I was so close to going crazy
but a mad pastor was already quoting scriptures off by head
with his Bible closed between his legs.

What's next?

wait...it gets better...
but I'll have to sleep again
to dream about it again.
