QUESTIONS WITHOUT ANSWERS:

In the soul of man,
Both can be found,
Infinite peace
And the devils bound.
 
Side by side they exist,
Beyond Comprehension:
Goodness and evil
In total dissension.
 
How or why
He cannot perceive,
Why should the heavens
A soul bereave.
 
The struggle is constant
And doubts will prevail:
Only time can dispute
This ageless tale.
 
As mortality ends,
Answers unfold:
The flesh that binds,
No longer will hold.
 
The spirits then two,
Now become one:
The victor is known
And the battle is done.
 
The soul is now judged,
But who is to tell:
Will it dwell in peace
Or languish in hell.
 
Epilogue:
 
Questions without answers
Forever plague man.
What strange reasons
Perpetrate this plan.
