Suicide

A paper A pen A rope A stool An anchor Write your last Heart wrenching sword-like words Wishing their impression will last When your existence becomes the past Ignoring the pounding of your heart Due to the terror about to happen (It has never imagined 7 minutes without a thump) Go peer through your window Search for any smallest signs of hope What a gloomy surrounding stares back at you! Curse the sacred life cycle For the one way ticket offered at birth Chromatography of body & soul being death You never understand that patience Has the ultimate power to negotiate With both direction and path of fate When... You go over the notes on the paper, Sadly rest your pen on it, Ascend the stool, Firmly fix the rope on the anchor, Tie the rope into a noose, Get it round your neck, Take a deep sigh, thinking It will defy the agony of death Then suspend yourself in the air That exact moment You wish you had wide wings You wish your neck was a razor blade You wish you had darted your short-sighted eyes Just a bit past the sour surrounding For every strong storm paves a way for a cool calm! But now... You are a MURDERER A murderer of you own spotless soul Your soul will NEVER rest in peace ETERNAL inferno awaits you!

It's true it is self murder, but is burning in hellfire forever a fair assessment from a God of love? Why does Romans 6:23 say the wages sin pays is death, death not burning in hellfire. No serious Christian believes in hellfire anymore. Eccl 9:5 clearly states "the living are conscious they will die, but the dead are not conscious of anything at all"

So a parent punishes a child who is disobedient by burning his hand on the stove? The child continues to disobey so the parent continues to burn the child! The parent will be punished by law for excessive violence, even imperfect humans understand what true justice is and torture is repulsive, I'm amazed that any Christian can believe and even promote torture and paint as fair a loving God that tortures someone forever?

Think of a sinner who knows what's right or wrong and still enjoys the wrong things and God only punishes him with death (Death which is experienced by both the sinner and the righteous) And the other one has the right to sin but chooses the right path just because of a mere faith in God. He gets eternal paradise. That will be unfair. To be fair sinners torment in hellfire eternally and the righteous enjoy in paradise eternally.

First of all I must say my poem's main aim is to discourage people from committing suicide due to some hardships they face in their daily lives and encourage patience by considering the fact that there's always someone who has it harder than you. Romans 6:23 has two meanings: 1.If you do bad things in this life bad things will shadow you.(In this life) 2. After resurrection-since Christianity also believes in the Hereafter- you will be punished by yet another death. (Except the righteous ones for they will enjoy the privilege of eternal life in paradise) I believe that to be fair God has eternal hellfire and eternal paradise for them respectively.
