My Fiery Wrath

You’ve seen my rage that can smite cathedrals’ steadfast posture Exempting not that edifice in Notre Dame midst its antique feature… May I remind you of hell-fire* in that place of forever torture With restlessness’ angst and despair-puncture Sealing the faithless in their doomed future Midst cruel hatred’s defiant gesture. You’ve witnessed my fury’s destructiveness Revealed by the Notre Dame Church fire’s perilousness… Such is just a glimpse of my fire in hell’s endless darkness Where misery’s gloom prevails in blackness Due to sufferings, despair, hopelessness Leaving the convicts in their guilt’s fierceness. You’ve beheld my wrath unleashing fatal empowerment That reigned to haunt religious predicament and faith’s sentiment Presenting a grim warning of hell-fire as everlasting torment Expressing death's wailing every moment As sorrows, anguish, woe wildly lament With constant gnashing of teeth engagement. You’ve experienced how it is to awakened by God Almighty Now, reflect on this reality as I appeal to your spirituality… My fiery ability in hell can be missed by trusting the Lord’s certainty In placing faith in Jesus Christ’s redeeming security He vanquished hell’s power with His sacrificial love’s purity And you can have such assurance throughout eternity.
*Mark 9:47 …It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. May 8, 2019 1st place, "NOTRE DAME IN THE NEWS" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Kim Rodrigues; judged on 6/6/2019.

Yes, Beata, you show how this “simple” fire is nothing compared to hellfire. Congratulations on first place!
