God's World

This is a poem I had written last year. I'm Catholic but I could never call myself religious. I'm actually one to argue about the Bible and God, but that doesn't mean I don't have my beliefs about it. I do believe in God but I am a defender of many religions.
I quote Muhammad Ali: "Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams--they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just like religions do--they all contain truths." Many religions, I'll admit, are weird in a way, but I really like learning about them nonetheless. Religion makes a person, whether they believe in God(s) or not. This doesn't mean I don't like to debate though. I accept beliefs but love to think things over.
The poem I wrote is almost like freestyle rhyming (i like to call it that at least); it doesn't necessarily follow a pattern, but most of it still rhymes. It deals with God's perfection and the sinners who aren't redeemed or saved. I refuse to believe that there is anything but Heaven and purgatory. I believe God is a merciful god who maintains His ever-benevolent ways. I do not intend to make fun of the Bible; this was just me criticizing my family's mixed views about God being ever-benevolent only when you are alive, and certainly not after death despite ever-benevolent meaning eternally forgiving.

God's World

I live in a neutral place
Where good and bitter tastes
Lies in every heart
I live on a neutral land
Where good and bad go hand and hand
Where fear is everywhere,
Where nature and I do part
I'd hate to see the day
When evil goes away
And the souls it lies in will never stay
They burn for all eternity
Never to be once set free
The good are all filled with glee
As they are now part of God's family
The burning people shall rot to death
Useless and meaningless was their first breath
Of God's Sweet, Enjoyable Gift of Life
Thank God for those joyful and free from sin
For they won and sit in God's Heaven
Lucky are those who feel no pain,
Yet "God's Children" burn with no life to gain
"It is justifiable punishment," the Mighty Lord claims
They cry and they wail and they ask for forgiveness
Oh, how they ask for eternal death to be painless
But this loving punishment is righteous and just
So killing them eternally is certainly a must
They wish for help but it never comes
Their arms stretched, reaching for a desired home
But they cannot reach it for they must have wings
They should have been good
But  love hurts and it stings
They hear laughter from the heavens above
They know now that they will never feel God's love
This is peace, the Holy Spirit, God's Holy White Dove
Someone save them, save them from this tyranny
Save them from God's "Loving Mercy"
But no one can stand up to God's rule
Cry for God's Children
But, then, welcome to God's World
Thank God they chose to sin
Welcome to God's World
Where you can "win"
