Circling the Drain

I don't agree with it at all. A grand heart and good deeds hold no weight -are not part the equation. This scale is unbalanced and highly flawed. So, you're telling me that you can be a filthy devil for your entire earthly life... wreak havoc on community and all mankind. Then upon the death breath accept Jesus-ask for forgiveness. Then everything's alright? Seems this soul would be cutting to the front of the line - slipping saint Peter, the golden Jesus ticket then simply slithering through the pearly gates... while the souls of Mother Theresa and Dali lama circle the drain.

High John, Thanks for having a look at my poem. I think heaven is for decent souls, maybe there are a number of pathways to heaven not just one. Then again maybe there's nothing at all. I'd hate to have my wings rubbing against Gacey or Manson. Then again, I may not make the grade. God Bless Anthony
