What if Heaven...

 

What if Heaven

 was not just above

would that be the thing

most of us dream of?

Could we then live

 in peace and harmony

to know that we could actually

 harm so many?

And as we get lowered below

 and dirt thrown down on us

what makes everyone so sure

  that there would be a big old fuss?

So if there was a gate

 that also welcomed hate

Should we not leave with so much on our plate

 and stroll on in fashionably late?

If we had a choice

 would we use our voice

to choose warmth or cool that

 up here one thinks a fool?

A never-ending room

 with the absence of gloom

What difference would it make

 if we could all foresake?

Scoffing at the Bible

blaming it for its libel

Choosing your own path

Accepting and admitting all wrath

. amazingly profound and precise ... we keep going round and round in circles ... about heaven and hell ... and a host of other ideas ... without realizing simple things ... "wrath" is such a powerful word ... brilliantly deployed ... and it's so true ... that we simply do not deal with it ... existence has become a game in circumventing rather than facing ... the last line is absolutely brilliant ...
