Stains On the Soul

The traces of guilt
Leave stains on the soul
That cannot be removed
Even after the death
For, only body dies
Not the human soul
It is presented 
In the court of God
And the Lord
Decides his doom
The guilty soul
Is not worthy of
Any merciful boon
It has to bear 
The tortures of hell
Until its repentance is over
And the stain on it
Are washed away
By the tearful shower
You have to present
The account 
Of all the tears
You cause to others
Your soul is not yours
It is the part of 
The universal soul
This lies in all
Teasing any soul
Is teasing ours
And the whole
