Poem
Hell is a place of eternal torture With restlessness’ angst and despair-puncture Sealing the faithless in their doomed future Midst cruel hatred’s defiant gesture. Hell is a prison of endless darkness Where misery’s gloom prevails in blackness Due to sufferings, despair, hopelessness Leaving the convicts in their guilt’s fierceness. Hell* is a cell of everlasting torment Expressing death's wailing every moment As sorrows, anguish, woe wildly lament With constant gnashing of teeth engagement. Hell is a dungeon where there’s no exit And each one slides toward bottomless pit Struggling to reach foot stool summit Yet never to taste freedom’s air a bit. Hell is lake of fire** where God’s wrath abides Unreached by His mercy, while His grace hides There, worms die not, with pleas’ screams at all sides Along unheard prayers … deserving chides. Hell awaits everyone who’s a sinner Bearing “You’re forever condemned” banner No one can flee from punishment runner While Satan and cohorts serve cursed dinner. Hell can be missed by trusting the great Lord In placing faith in God upon His Word He vanquished hell’s might with His divine sword For those who are in Christ in sweet accord. Hell is indeed closed to the redeemed soul Assured by the Almighty's loving goal Granting eternal life**, forever whole Through Jesus Christ in His great Saviour's role. *Luke16:23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments... **Revelation 20:14 - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. ***Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. October 5, 2018 Edited on March 5, 2023 2nd place, "Hell" Poetry Writing Premiere Contest Sponsored by Robert James Liguori; judged on 3/10/2023.
