Earth Hardships Life Played: At Stake Prize Eternity Poem by Terence George Craddock

bear earth hardships
life win eternity
beautified in heaven?
life is so short?

for so many
among suffering humanity
this agony
of earth torture

each second tortured
can be an eternity
an eternity

of suffering
on earth falling
failing then

an eternity
of suffering
throughout all time?
was punishment

post creation of creation
an odorous torture hell
really necessary?
seems obsessive

vindictive
unwarranted cruelty?
punishment of rules

people not following
worship conformity
vengeance retribution?

did God never regret
waiting watching allowing
Adam and Eve to fall?
did God never regret punishment

punishing Adam and Eve all
offspring with death?
Is God
in the forgiveness

or punishment game?
Is policy no
intervention

rational sane?
free will means God
allows your choice on roadmap eternity
