DEVIOUS IN LACK OF JOY

 

Devious in lack of joy

Imagining all the possibilities

Of life-after

And life-before

But when it comes down to it

They never really want anything more

Than this life, right now

And within that logic

Is the wise recognition

That all of the hereafter

Is pure visualization

Based on all possibilities

But what is here is clear

Definable, demonstrable

You breathe, touch, hear

You are perfectly adapted

To earth, its gravity, its atmosphere

            There need be no Heaven in clouds

            And no need for fire and pits of Hell

            This life offers both

            Based on your personal experience –

Just let anger and hate brew –

Let it overflow

And fill the Hell of prison

And the worse fate of the mind

            While the pure of heart

            Who smile on all our creatures –

            Don’t laugh, I’ve seen it –

            Live in a state of suspended grace

            As if visiting

            From another plane of existence

            Looking around, and smiling

            As if pleased with everything                                                            220909.2
