Too late <br /> He fell to his knees <br /> Begging forgiveness. <br /> <br /> But had lived a wasted life <br /> Debauched, self-centered, all for pleasure <br /> With any regard for man or God. <br /> <br /> Pleading for mercy <br /> He beat bloody fists on Heaven's gates <br /> But no Saviour came for him. <br /> <br /> Wringing his hands <br /> Terrified of the coming torments <br /> He entered Hell's threshold. <br /> <br /> Finding within perpetual agonies <br /> And torture from Satan's demons <br /> Dancing grotesquely among the flames.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sinner-2/
