Death of a Soul

A common misconception
People have about our soul
They think it is tormented
And will burn out of control

God is not a tormentor
This is not the natural way
To let a soul keep burning
In hot fires everyday

For those who are to perish
They will have their soul consumed
They are blotted out and gone
And their life won't be resumed

For instance fat in fire
When it drips and sizzles there
Rises up in smoke, it's gone
It's just like the fire's flair

It don't continue burning
But forever up in smoke
It's nothing more than ashes
To be like a burnt out oak

There is no more existence
You will simply cease to be
In this there's no rejoicing
There will be no jubilee

It is a sad occasion
When that day will come to be
But God will take remembrance
Dry our tears and set us free

Free living without evil
As it will exist no more
We're set upon new journeys
Eternally to explore

Read through this quickly last night but had to reread it today when I'm more awake. Nice work. It's almost inconcievable to think of life with no more sin.  It's like trying to fully understand God's awesome love, so far reaching.  Thank you for sharing this.

This misconception came out of the medevial church.  I for one believe that it is eternal seperation from God that is the horror of hell.  Can you imagine being in a place where God is not-- since God is everywhere present?
It is written that God is the God of the living and not of the dead.  But it has to do with what 'dead' really is.  I think Yeshua give us a glimpse when he said: 'let the dead bury thier dead'.. to wit, that's what they call dead.  In my mind it is seperation from God.  Thanks for the thought provocation.
