The doG liveD

An eternal place of pure fire and brimstone Cannot compare to the depths of an unrested mind The depths to which you can find no relief or to run and hide Hell is being alone in a crowded street or in a room with friends and family Or alone in the comfort of a made bed with you pacing inside my mind freely Heaven is all these things under different circumstances And the difference is in the mood and state in which the soul dances So the white dog lives with his obsession over his little black spot For this, he wants to run out of his skin but he is trapped while his mind rots Even to escape his body, he is always left with his mind worried where he buried his bone And he knows the dirt from his paws will leave a trace for others to find and roam His territory gets occupied from time to time By dogs with bigger spots and darker shades of black And his mind loses his dominance by inferior thoughts of all that he lacks Hell is when the comfort of your home becomes another prison And there is nowhere else to go but where you are Heaven is making peace with this and the ability to surrender For having lived backwards is the devil and to live in reverse is evil The old dog can learn the new trick that to turn around and go forward is the way of God
