Two-Way Street

A reminder of where I should go

The more you live like you're going to hell

the more painful your road there will be,

so seek not the lands where the demons dwell,

but the cross which sets you free.

The tyrants with power will crumble and fall,

the wealthy and vain will spoil,

yet the ones who are planted firm in their ground

will flourish amidst the toil.

Bear the lashes and heft the beams

as you climb the mountain high,

for the ones chasing meaningless things

are quick to settle for lies.

The road before us is rocky and rough

but seek comfort in the destination,

for the path to Heaven surely is tough,

but it's much better than damnation!
