Heaven and Hell

Life has no guarantees 
Death is no different 
Heaven is not up 
Hell is not down 
They are both achievable on Earth. 
Verily, an evil man can live a heavenly life 
As a good man can live in hell 
Paradise is a state of mind. 
Where everything falls into place 
And there is peace and tranquility 
Do not waste your love on a deity 
Made up by men of the past 
Give your heart to a human 
Pour your soul into theirs 
Become one 
Face your future's together 
Do not speed your way through this wonderful gift 
Rushing towards the promise of 
Redemption 
And paradise 
For nothing is guaranteed in life 
And death is no different
