An elevator;
takes you up and down
frequently;day and night;
either to heaven; or to hell;
It depends how you behave;
Sometimes upward;
other times downward;
or even to underground !
It looks like God’s own iron hands;
who orders to be carried
either up or down;
Down to the hell; up to heaven;
The Lord’s chariot; neither pulled
by a horse nor by any wheel;
_________________________________________________________________________________
An elevator takes you up to heaven;
Sometimes down to your own hell!
Also it looks like the gallows;
or a hanging tree;
or a bore-well ;
no water; no air;
like a devil's fort in dark;
once you be in his custody;
No openings; No closings;
Neither a start nor an end;
a lifeless life;
within a life !
