 Trapped on this Earth


 

Trapped on this Earth

tormented with emotions

waiting for it all to end.

We all know we shouldn’t give up,

but why stay here?

Suffocated by laws and rulers

all of the people we resent

controlling what we can and can’t do.

Evil souls preforming sins

need to avoid

need to survive

need to be worthy.

After we finish our time in this nightmare

we go somewhere better

somewhere safe

without sin

without error.

The evil souls are recycled

put back into the earth’s abominable course

will stay until they prove deserving.

Life is hell

the punished are put here to learn

the ones who die young are only being helped

they have proven acceptable for the afterlife.
