Suicide: Mission Impossible (Poem)

Dead men are dying. ¹

Strong men all lying.

Fake news is duping.

Devils are whooping!

‘Curse God and die!’ That’s what Job’s wife once said.

With no faith in God, she was spirit dead.

While righteous Job shunned his dead wife’s advice, ²

By it, folk today are very enticed.

To be, or not to be?, the famous question posed.

Words penned in the work, Hamlet,
that Shakespeare composed. ³

With growing suicides by which our land some blot,

To echoes of this question, they have answered, ‘NOT!’ ⁴

To Eve, satan asked, ‘Did God really say…..?’,

The question by which we’re still tricked today. ⁵

Beware questions in your mind you ponder.

Know if they’re from God or from our tempter.

To be, or not to be? What a naive question!

To see why, let us take some time for reflection.

Reading through God’s Bible book, this is what
you’re sure to see:

A living spirit you are, and forever shall you be.

An eternal spirit in God’s image you’re created,

To whom an eternal soul is equally allotted --

Will, intellect, emotions, imagination and mind,

All in a mortal body, temporarily assigned.

Like air escaping from a fully blown up balloon,

Like a caterpillar encased in its cocoon,

Death of your body will only your spirit release,

As your body awaits God’s eternal masterpiece.

His masterpiece: Your spirit to a body immortal assigned.

The only question then is, To which domain
will you be aligned?

‘Like angels’, in the resurrection Jesus said we shall be.

Heads-up!

Two groups of angels there are now,
and forever will there be.

Now, one group is bound by satan’s prideful lies,
God’s enemy.

Then, it’ll be forever bound in a hellish domain, fiery!

The other group chose to resist satan’s pride;
from pride it’s free.

Note well: Pride is the first sin, tap root of sin’s
very broad tree.

To be, or not to be? What a deceptive question!

With which group to be aligned? Ahhh, that’s
the right question.

To this ling’ring question, your life will surely respond.

Trust me, it’s God’s question from which
you cannot abscond.

Dead men are still dying, shaking their fists
at God’s key question.

Thinking life they’re escaping, their eternity has begun!

The righteous, too, are dying, but to God
we remain ALIVE.

In death, all spirits survive. Thereafter, 
the righteous will thrive! ⁶

Please ponder my message seriously:

Since spirit we are, and ever shall be,

Here is a truth that is incontrovertible --

Suicide of a spirit is impossible!

¹ Spiritually dead -- dead towards God

² But he said to her, ‘You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?’ In all this Job did not sin with his lips. (Job 2:10) If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes. (Job 14:14)

³ Prince Hamlet bemoaning the pain and unfairness of life, but acknowledges the alternative might be worse. Today, folk willfully embrace this alternative.

⁵ Genesis 3:1

⁶ And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. (Revelation 21:6)
