Hell on earth

Heaven is full 
this I swear. 
All the angels 
are sleeping there. 
Hell is empty 
so please beware. 
All those devils 
are living here.

I comefrom a diffrent place, If hell is on earth..that is depressing. There are good people on earth. Too many of these good people are afraid to even think of working to make theworld better. Like opening theor mouth when they see wrong. God never said like on earth would be great, our forefathers were tossed out of Eden. The evil are in Hell. While humans complain ebdlessly. We all want to be in heaven? Death is not a ticket to heaven, No action? No good works in earth! No heaven. Pangie

Disagree! Poor people have no halos on their heads. I knew many evil poor. What about the Royals! Are they destimed for hell? Are all who ever served in Paliament? Pangie

Brother John, they say that heaven is a place on earth, I think they’ve got it wrong, as you say, devils reside here on earth… Sis Beryl
