What a treat, is it not? From the Bible, one recalls the utmost painful punishment in Hell was to be shunned from Heaven for eternity. Even outside of the Biblical context, the poem can be reflected as a life lesson for wrongdoers in the world to understand the depravity of their indecency and crimes. For one to evade the punishments from the laws could be hard and difficult, but there has never been one to evade the punishments of their conscience after death, when their crimes are eternally perceived and judged amongst the stars, marking their simple existence forever in the world as a sinner and no more. How harsh, but befitting. Thank you for sharing your work, author Arundass TP, may the message you have imbedded within your work be recognised.

This seems very ethereal to me…contemplating heaven or hell or both, but I magibe ( in theory) that one could be in hell contemplating how to get out of hell into heaven…. I guess only God’s wisdom could conceive of this…but many of us ( not me) contemplate heaven and don’t even think about hell….i hope this isn’t babble but I’m not a believer so I’m doing my best!

Quite a lot of variations here presented for both heaven and hell, perhaps alluding to the many different ways that man contemplates and puts into perspective realities that are currently, only concepts. " It would be heaven if....." or " I'm going through hell because..." Thought the read was very engaging, well spaced and flows well from one stanza to the next. Made me respond with thinking...."Subtle is the Lord, but malicious he is not". - A. Einstein - thanks for the post glad I came by -carl
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love." 1 John 4:18 We overcome doubt by faith and we overcome fear by love and all the while it is hope that fills our sails and carries us homeward. There abide these three; faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. But certainly mankind is much involved in creating his own versions of heaven and hell. I think often our species has been quite confused in its choosing. I enjoyed the read. F.

Sure. What may be the precise truth? I was thinking! Thank you friend for a good review.
I have always felt that hell is on earth...we experience it and then sooner or later maybe we find out what heaven is like...I wish we could experience more of that on earth.

Arudass TP,
this is a great one!
It's hard to talk about what we think,
because it is heresy in the eyes of others.
But it isn't child, it is just conflict,
the questioning of one's steps, decision, why
GREAT WRITE
