Hell No

I dread that day of doom as living curse, When my self destructive sin of desire - Insatiable, get cast out from this earth - And burn my soul in hellish scorching fire. Shall I indulge in pleasures, rich and rife, Or question if sin's worth my afterlife?! For my sin's absolution now I pray, Tempting, taunting sensations I repel. One last time, my last wish, on my last day - My last word upon last breath - No To Hell! Wondering if complacency and sins, Paired by devil's evil as conjoined twins. March 6, 2023

We must remember that the Lord is all-forgiving...at least that's what the nuns taught us. I hope they were right! ;)

Delving into the yes and no. Begins the question of what we know. Beyond the emptiness of soullessness. It's only answered when we're gone. I guess.

If everyone questioned, "is sin worth my afterlife" I think there would be less sin. The only way the devil can get inside is if you let him in. Good one, Maggie. A little dark for you but I like it:)
