HEAVEN AND HELL--award winner

HEAVEN AND HELL


Is there a heaven or hell?
Let me on this topic dwell.

At the outset let us face:
earth in fact is not our place.

This life, our earthly sojourn,
is an occasion to learn

that there are lives furthermore,
which humans have to endure

in worlds not same as this one,
though this thought they often shun.

They cannot escape their fate,
which they themselves did create.

While they did the deeds on earth,
God was judging their true worth.

Possibly one day they would
reach heaven if deeds are good.

There is not a need to tell:
bad deeds will take them to hell.
