Torment With No Appeal

Wailing with the gnashing of teeth
torment with no appeal
seems far fetched to your conscious mind
I tell you that it’s real
____
cast into an outer darkness
for all eternity
is that a way to live beyond
a foolish way to be
____
where flame of fire never dies down
agony all the time
but time is dwarfed by eternity
one’s thoughts continue he’ll find
____
then no hope shall ever arrive
desperation for rest
not even a drop of water
to cool a tongue at best
____
the horrors of life after death
shall come to pass for all
who refuse to accept the Lord
His name they never call
____
laughing away the truth of life
which is found at the cross
proud and haughty thinking this way
will insure they stay lost
____
is Jesus Christ some joke to you
laughing away the truth
or is He speaking to your heart
as a way of reproof
