Notes About The Poem

For contest

Ain’t Gonna Go To Hell

Ain’t Gonna Go To Hell For Anybody by Dylan

I find your lines like wine
Making me drunk with love
You toy with my mind
And I’m infatuated enough

But when I think about it
I cool off and pray with faith 
Sex and lust is lousy
If you don’t love me God’s way

It’s better to marry
Than to burn like fire
Real love is carried
In red heart of desire

I know we can fool around 
And likely have a good time
But hell is a long way down
I don’t want to lose the divine 

The love I deserve 
The love I desire
Found in holy word
Not from the pit of fire

I’m not going to hell
For any one over flesh
I’d be just as well
Waiting for true happiness 

I ain’t gonna go to hell
For anyone no sir not me
God has a plan and well
I’d rather belong to Thee
