In Between

Between Heaven and Hell… the earth where we live.
Where we are going is based on, that, which we give.

Within black and white…a place that’s always grey.
A place where we attempt reason, but a place, too, where we pray.

Between right and wrong, there should never be such a place.
Decide your own action; you will then decide your own fate.

All these marginal areas, those places in between,
Are places we will be leaving from, should be places we have seen.

Every action has a consequence and good ones have reward.
Choose your actions wisely, friends, and you will find accord.
