Scarlet's Confession

(for Scarlets of the world) Scarlet was born in a house of ill repute. She learnt early how to use lipsticks, and Dreams never visited her. Enslaved by carnivorous nights, Her heart feared to fly, but Accompanied her to the church. One gloomy Sunday, she confessed - Father, forgive me for I've sinned. And she had a dream. She was in heaven, standing in a crowd, Who kept looking up. 'Even here, people keep looking up', She thought, and asked A woman standing next to her - What are you looking for? A white smoke - replied the woman. Scarlet later found out; 'God is only a chimney', and she Woke up beside a drunk.
