Hell No

I dread that day of doom as living curse, 
When my self destructive sin of desire -
Insatiable, get cast out from this earth -
And burn my soul in hellish scorching fire.

Shall I indulge in pleasures, rich and rife, 
Or question if sin's worth my afterlife?! 

For my sin's absolution now I pray, 
Tempting, taunting sensations I repel. 
One last time, my last wish, on my last day - 
My last word upon last breath - No To Hell! 

Wondering if complacency and sins, 
Paired by devil's evil as conjoined twins.

Daniel Turner Date: 3/6/2023 2:27:00 PM If everyone questioned, "is sin worth my afterlife" I think there would be less sin. The only way the devil can get inside is if you let him in. Good one, Maggie. A little dark for you but I like it:) Login to Reply Margarita Lillico Date: 3/10/2023 9:15:00 AM Wasn’t dark enough:)
