A Tangerine Pinwheel

There's a tangerine-colored pinwheel 
at the top of a far-away hill

Yours the job to go and grab it,
but beware:
its way of turning 
doesn't always turn out to be fair

Yours, as well,
the job to tell
whether or not
you want things to turn out well:
you can either go up to heaven
or tumble into the pit of hell
