The Reckoning

Each of us differ in beliefs If there’s heaven or hell If there’s life after death If there’s a God at the end What if a test paper is laid? Before you sleep your final rest To prove what you’ve done right To know what you’ve done wrong A simple reply of true or false Similar to a lie detector test A check for all you’ve done right But every truth shall affect the lies Most of us will surely fail Not for the right minus wrong But more on the wrong minus right Since we are just human after all For here on earth is different Material things are given weight Wealthy people are much revered No matter how they got their hoard They say, ask and you shall receive They say, give and you will be blessed But rich people don’t ask; they take And they don’t give, but are plain fortunate So where did it leave the poor? They work harder in order to receive Don’t steal to get what they need They want to help, have none to give There’s no need for labeling Evil is evil, wrong is wrong Regardless of how often you do Notwithstanding how grave you sin So if I were to go through the test I will leave it blank and pass the chance Nobody deserves to be in heaven Since here on earth we all rot in hell!
