For Rose's Heaven is for Real Contest
Help me out, help me in, I'm riddled with doubt with Ecclesiastical notions of sin A charming man had some good stuff to say, I'd Vote for him but his vibe went away Easing the way for man made ways to slay No thanks, it leaves me uneasy, but I still like to pray I have a fair idea that heaven is there Slinking about in the thin of the air For mass consumption, no need to part with lump sum Ornate churches are all very good, but how can Religious types think they're heading for sainthood? Revelling in comfort while worshippers starve Each of us know in our heart what we are A veneer of good won't make them a star Love and be loved my only heaven so far

A very pragmatic view on heaven Dilly, I think you have the balance just right too, heaven can’t be just one size fits all, although I think the vast majority of us mortals can go along with your final line, excellent piece, all the best for contest, and heaven! cheers David

Haha cute! Yeah like any club, standing in line sanctimoniously or striding right up to front sanctimoniously tend not to guarantee entry. I'll keep an open mind for now at least :)
