When words upset you, you lose your childhood
It's dreadful to grasp that life is idyllic nearby
The youth have drawn, and no path forward
Grey hair has arisen, where is my getaway?
Eagerly flee what's in your nakedness
Spot your own hidden vices and weep
Also, cognize your sins before the final count
What you willfully did must be called to keep
The gatekeeper points are futile if ignored
Now we agnize that whiles aren't deceiving
Undeniably, the soul within is mysterious
You will sway it despite its advancing
You yearn for the moral hubris of your stance
Its fading thrill is its final track lodging

God has a plan by sending His son
here to earth so to rescue us from hell
which is where our sinfulness takes us
if we don't turn back to escape satan's cell
The Lord grants the gift of repentance
in the power of the holy spirit divine
so in repenting faith to believe enters
coming to know Christ is a true sign
God calls His own to a changed life
to be converted living unto the Lord
searching the scriptures follow its ways
abiding in the knowledge of His swift sword
This is the work of God's spirit
working in the heart deep within
so your sins are blotted out
through Jesus having died for our sin
God's remedy for your sinfulness
Jesus shed His blood, our sin to atone
this plan God devised before eternity
for His own glory, from cross to throne
("Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,")
Acts 3: 19 (ESV)

HEAVEN ON EARTH
This world can be a heaven before Heaven comes
If we all live religiously with love for each other
Do what the Books say, obeying orders and regulations
And live our lives like Jesus Christ
So that we can all be known, not only be called, good Christians
Or live by the will of Allah
Where we can go out and return with unlocked doors and see no harm
Eat what we earn
And think about and give to neighbors, homeless, poor and vulnerable a little to eat
Be truthful, honest, forgiving, caring, sharing and of love
And everyone gets his needs as so deserved
And can worship and praise the Creator together with our hearts in all situations
What else would we need in Heaven?
We can create our heaven on earth
Before God takes us to Heaven after our death
To continue our solidarity with Him.
We can make it possible
We were not made of sinfulness
We brought sinfulness
We sin because of our selfishness
We brought sin, it’s not God’s willingness
We are saved through Christ by God’s willingness.
We can make a heaven on earth!
