Salvation For the DamnedA Poem by Teddybearlee
We think we know hell
The fires burning, searing in to our flesh and bone Our sins repeatedly embedded in our brains An eternity of punishment for a failure to accept How is this different? Do those damned on earth fear such trivial details? An eternity in pain here, an eternity in pain there We are not all created equal The inequality of the soul knows know boundries What people think of as karma, justice, God's plan, the Devil's work Hits not those of race, not those of sexuality, not those of religion It hits the innocent, for we are all born of no knowledge of right and wrong Who chooses to give tortured souls their weight? No, there is no equality in mental and emotional strength Some of us our wounded unto the very depths of our being And we know life will be forever filled with pain Do all who know this feeling deserve it? Are we punished? If I believe in God, does it help? No, there is no excuse, no reason, no "plan" As dying children are given no chance As disease holds those in its grips for months, years Grandparents, parents, children, babies Mental anguish, are we meant to let go? Then why can all not, there is no choice in my eyes I am cursed for all to see. Without you. © 2016 Teddybearlee |
