Poem

[dungeonwriter]

Perhaps there are no Gods above
No final judgment for me awaits
Without eternal reward after death
The skies emptiness is all that waits
In spite of this, I still believe
That a good deed is its own reward
For those who life by revenge's blade
Will surely die upon the sword
But those who strive for good
And plant kindness in the blight
Shall be

Yay! Good on you for doing the right thing. I like the poem, too.

Thanks, I'm no aprikorus but I needed more than Olam haba to comfort me.

I thought that was a lovely poem. I agree - doing the right thing is it's own reward, even when it's the harder path to take. :)

Thanks. I'm still actually a practitioner of my faith but I needed a bit more. And I found out that revenge became part of the package deal. Bwahahaha.

This has been a very tough week for me, so I'm grateful for your kind words.
