Heaven and Hell
living is hard, in fact it’s Hell
the locale where doldrums do dwell
burnings, yearnings, and desire
for things of which we aspire
aspire for, but just can’t reach
school, ‘bout happiness, did not teach
–
tucked into bed of burning aches
of lost goals and woeful heart breaks
seething with anger, or hot tears
bearing it slowly through the years
living is hard, in fact it’s Hell
that is the place many do dwell
–
those who embrace this devilish hell
who relish pain of life’s rough spell
toss away old aspirations
yielding to new inspirations
will rest upon a cloud of bliss
your Hell his Heaven judged amiss
