A Single Chance For Paradise

Moi trying my hand at poetry... :? Givers of comments/constructive crit will be profusely thanked 😉

A SINGLE CHANCE FOR PARADISE

A single chance for paradise

It is the only one you'll get

Far too precious to be wasted

Because one day you shall regret

All those years that you neglected

Your Qur'an, your salaat, your fast

And then you will crumple, shedding tears

For all the hours that slipped past

All of those times you tossed away

Hundreds of chances for reward

Those dire warnings from your parents

That you so stubbornly ignored

Busy with mindless, useless things

And although you choose to forget

Allah certainly remembers

All of your foul-mouthed disrespect

Malicious lies, cheating and theft

Indulging carelessly in sin

You're a victim of temptation

And you cannot even begin

To comprehend all the horror

That awaits you beyond the grave

And if you only knew, my dear

You definitely would behave

For soon, my friend, the day will come

You'll take your final gasping breath,

And have to face the punishment,

That will come swiftly after death

A single chance for paradise

The only one that you'll receive

So be wise and make use of it

If you honestly do believe.
