Let's be Rational here

"How will I die?"
A simple question,
yet a neglected one.

They tell us all the time,
"Think about your destiny."
But do we?

We say to ourselves,
"I still got my whole life ahead of me."
True enough,
but what if
that life happens to end tomorrow?

Why do we fail to understand
that this short life,
which we take for granted,
is absolutely NOTHING
compared to what's coming.

Let's be rational.
Let's ask ourselves,
before fulfilling a wrongful desire:
"Do I want to die doing this?
Is this worth the great torture
in the grave?
Is it worth the tremendous grieving,
the HORROR,
the undefined terrors
of the Inevitable Day?
Is it worth
the painful,
unbearable,
terrible,
horrific,
Eternal Punishment?
Does it make sense to spend 80-90 years
fulfilling our desires,
and then be doomed to spend an ETERNITY
in horrendous punishment?
Does it not make more sense
to spend 80-90 years being patient,
praying to God,
and then enjoy an ETERNITY
of joyful,
happy,
desirable,
beautiful
Reward in Paradise?"

You decide
which makes more sense.
After all,
the choice lies with none other than
yourself.

Just know one thing:
that your choice
will determine your destiny
for the next INFINITY years
after death.

-------------
Brothers and Sisters, this is a very serious point. You can even think about it mathematically:
Let's say a person lives for 90 years on Earth. After death, we will all live forever. (Either in torment or reward) How is "forever" expressed mathematically? "Infinity" is the number. Now what is 90 divided by infinity? 90/infinity equals ZERO! ZERO, brothers and sisters! That means that 90 is nothing compared to infinity! You decide which you want, the 90 or the infinity.

Assalaamu Calykum my muslim sister. I fell in love with your poem! If non-muslims would like to know more about the end or the life after, this is a good way to explain to them. Thx! I enjoyed it very much!

your poem was somewhat okay, yet i think you can make it better. I did not enjoy that much. There's your feedback. Hope you write better poems.

Wa alaikom alsalam, brother.
Can you be more specific about my poem? It really doesn't make sense to criticize someone about something and not tell them how to make it better. (ironic that this poem was about rationality)
When I said that I would love to get feedback, even if it was negative, I didn't mean criticization. I meant a good comment if it was good, or a comment on how it can be better, if it wasn't so good.
Sorry if u didn't like this poem, Try reading my other ones. (most people like them, maybe you will too.)
if you don't like my other poems either, well sorry, one really cant satisfy everyone.
:)peace
