Corteez - True Fiction

There is no heaven I know for sure, met an alien who has been on tour, he has blitzed himself from Corteez, a planet around star Betelgeuse, he has no body like you or me, a hazy presence you can just see, he can walk through any thick brick wall he has somehow become my best pal, he talks in thoughts he puts in my mind, I learnt to reply to him in kind. it is he who shared little secret, that heaven is not as we see it, that human kind have invented lies, that man goes to heaven when he dies, of kingdom of God up in the sky, devil and hell and angels that fly, wild stories baked from ancient times, coloured pious and told in rhymes! I call him ‘he’ as matter of course, no gender though in their universe, appears ionic in atmosphere, but stays solid in his worldly sphere! has been to universe every where, but heaven he is sure is not there, I am sharing what I think is truth, from Corteez pal, like horses mouth! So let’s all go and do what we must, from dust we are and return to dust, we can make it heaven where we are, with good deeds heaven is not far, Corteez pal has invited me home, but like his ionic self I can’t roam, He has for now gone back to Corteez, just thought, with you I would share all these..... 3rd placement 24/12/2020 Fantasy with fictional beings poetry contest Caren Krutsinger sponsored word count 248 rhyme aabb.....
