Rejecting Paradise Eternity

when we consider
hardships sacrifices
of passion souls
seeking a road

to enlightenment
saving grace
allowing entrance
to heaven consider

God’s plan sacrifice
of a pure immortal
voluntary reparation
soul passion

of Christ
absorbing all sin
into his immaculate
soul

dying a perfect
soul
sin sacrifice
to absolve

all humanities
sins
then wonder
fills

conceived
conceited
knowledge
understanding

how easy
to accept
an undeserved
gift

of forgiveness
yet
how few are
prepared

to be reborn
again
accepting
Christ

remaking
truth
creation
philosophy

religion in
their own image
terms rejecting
paradise eternity
