yes, it is ironic...we can claim a disbelief in a supreme being...in heaven and hell...but as death draws nearer...even as we age and see the possibility of our mortality..
there comes this fear we cannot always explain..but we know what it is don't we.
this is a terrific write..a terrific battle between good and evil...and between belief and atheism.

Wow, this is a really deep poem you have presented Muse. I really enjoyed reading it since it's sort of like my poem "The World's End". It's scary to have dreams such as this one and wake up wondering will it really take place one day. The truth is it is going to happen.God created the beginning and the Bible in Revelations says there's an end also. I mean don't you see how Earth is slowly dying? Once it finally breaks its final straw what do you believe will happen? Hell's going to try to corrupt. We both have our opinions and rights on what we believe. Nice write!

thanks for your review sweetie...keep walking the walk...otherwise nobody will hear your talk. :)
Death and our fear of the unknown! What we go to but also losing what we have and the God question, you have this covered so well. I don't put much stock in religion but really, to love god is to know him.

This was actually about a dream I had as a teenager. It haunted me for a very long time.
this was an intense and powerful parable. i liked how the person's faith was tested after she was turned off by the brimstone hellfire the priest, or pastor, was spewing from the bible. i don't think anybody should tell you how to write your poetry. nobody should. your poetry is beautiful.
quite the write here Muse...I wonder how many are left with that traumatic sense of fear embedded since chilhood...religious, death, choice, life...all the mind has to do is escape, escape from the repetitive nature of mankind and religious philosophy...we are free to choose no matter what we believe (or are led to beleive) and I know where and who leads me...nice work
