Heaven and Hell

by @andrea-22

We seek heaven, or play like a rebel in hell We’d better all hustle before that bell Empty vessels, looking into the abyss How did you know to light the spliff We are as unique as our outer shell Going anywhere, I know in my bone cells What you believe is what you get Unless you’ve underestimated your unmet For the spirit within us is subject to the wind And if you believe it, we’re all next of kin Heaven and hell can’t be that different, you know Because one’s not above and the other’s not below Above live the birds, Below us worms God’s given them space to live on their terms Heaven and hell will be be side by side So us people can meet to discuss why we cried The afterlife may bring strife, decide to be prepared It may also bring joy to see ones we loved who also asked where’d We can’t know our formation or location after our fall like a domino Though after death we might be together, so now let’s say hello
