Heaven And Hell

Heaven And Hell

A Poem by Pete
"

Hell itself may be contained within the compass of a spark. - Thoreau

"
The Rich Man, Poor Man | islam.ru

the rich man ponders how to get more and how to live forever
the poor man thinks about what riches might await him in the next life and when his empty want will end
neither sleeps well
not knowing if tomorrow he will be in heaven or hell

Author's Note

Pete
“Whether he sleeps or wakes, whether he runs or walks, whether he uses a microscope or a telescope, or his naked eye, a man never discovers anything, never overtakes anything or leaves anything behind, but himself. Whatever he says or does he merely reports himself. If he is in love, he loves; if he is in heaven, he enjoys, if he is in hell, he suffers. It is his condition that determines his locality.” - Thoreau
