To many this might seem foolish
But would you lend me your ear 
This is not of my own ideas I was raised up on
But in seeking the guidance of His word
Why do we preach people into Hades
Are that they need to be good not to go
We can not be good in our own will
That gives glory to God
Is mankind seeking to please man or God
Hades meaning the Greek god of the underworld. : the underground abode of the dead in Greek mythology. 
Dwelling place of the dead below
This seems to be Hades we are in now
We are in a world below on a footstool
In a spiritual meaning we are dead without Christ
If you take notice one can see a world going against God
Maybe most just love Hades and torture of demons
Are out of blindness and deception
Seek alcohol,drugs are whatever to get relief or satisfaction 
Preach love of God and being filled with the spirit
That Jesus came to fulfill that we shall escape
Hades even now, no longer seeking the things of this world
But seeking things above not to remain below
Set your eyes on the unseen treasures God instills within
Not of the seen treasures of this world that shall parish 
Seek the wrath of God on yourself now
For the spirit of fire to come within 
To abolish all evil desires and lust we gained in Hades
Burn it all away so we might receive peace ,love for all  ,joy , 
New heart , mind, willingness to live, to die daily to this world
And gain more treasures within 
Seek Jesus  to receive His spirit He promised
Then seek Paul to live in it and the fight around us,
To receive knowledge, wisdom, understanding not of man.
Seek the ones not out for their self praise
Unless it's blindness you enjoy
To get in where you fit in
But learn from the ones which make sure all glory goes to God the true source of love flowing living water
They will not be out seeking treasures of this world
Telling you to get blessed with earthy riches to remain
Which seeks one to get satisfaction in this world
Only blessed receive wealth here is false 
Nothing wrong with working hard to achieve goals and wealth
 to raise a family in good conditions
But we should remember its all temporary 
Seek those focused with a longing to be with God
And to spread the new life that is available in this moment
To be content in any situation rich are poor
 for God is in control 
We need love to defeat hate
We need love to defeat division ,racism, all things instilled
To a lost dying world in need of Jesus to fill more
With the promised spirit to escape Hades
Seek Jesus, spirit to dwell within, Paul to guide you in spirit: )
No matter the lies this world tells you Jesus said
We need to be reborn, put old self in grave and receive new life in the spirit 
He gave up His life for all to receive life that seek
No matter what you have done in the flesh in blindness
Allow Jesus to circumcise old self away

"But seeking things above not to remain below Set your eyes on the unseen treasures God instills within Not of the seen treasures of this world that shall perish ".... We are not meant to dwell in Hades, we are meant to occupy a seat in Heaven, the place of eternal bliss. So cast away the fleeting joys of this world and focus on treasures that we can hoard in Heaven. A great piece of writing dear Stephan!

Indeed ,great comment my friend, all glory to God , that through Christ we can be pulled out of this world why we are in it, Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 NIV
