Life, justice and eternity: A poem 

Life can seem so unjust to the good 

Why in suffering that they should 

bear witness to the cruelty of fate 

While those out of greed riches bait

That wealth and power be not the aim 

How life turns out is just a game 

to seek propriety and humbly discriminate 

between good choices, and evil to berate 

Wealth comes not from the external ride 

but from within, where the truth does reside 

Even if one’s labours are unjustifiably in vain 

Equanimity will help one tide the pain 

Those that who, their crosses, gladly suffer 

To God’s will they duty-bound defer 

And those that wilfully evil proffer 

Will definitely to Satan their souls refer 

For eternity is for the good souls to attain 

That is the fortune God unswervingly maintains 

The ones that selfishly material gains pave 

will be consigned to be the devil’s slaves

  1. beautiful Monte , then why should those who are aware about “suffering and with it, its the final reward’ even consider it be suffering in the first place ….
