Death Can Be Hell

Choose Wisely

By Earl W. PearlPublished about 10 hours ago 1 min read

Hello, I’ll be your demon sent to welcome you to hell

The Devil soon will greet you for the stories you can tell

Like how you never questioned him on all the lies he told

And, how you ended up in here and not on streets of gold

No one knows the scriptures like the Devil does himself

He knew you’d never test those Bible verses on your shelf

His influence grew stronger every time you ran from God

You only trusted in yourself, that strategy was flawed

The Holy Spirit beckons all, to spare you from this hell

But Satan had a job to do, you’re proof he did it well

Our mission was “deception,” just to plant that seed of doubt

When Satan gives us orders you can bet they’re carried out

It worked with Adam, worked with Eve, it took some time to hone

He found it easy teaching man to trust themselves alone

See, God created man to share His Kingdom and His heart

The Devil knew deceiving man would tear God’s heart apart

You gave us total access, thus allowing him to boast:

“Eternal separation from the God Who loved you most”

So, welcome neighbor, hear me well, the judgment in my voice

There’s no one here by accident, you all just made a choice
