One Way Trip Ticket

ONE WAY TRIP TICKET? by JOHN M. ARRIBAS A Round Trip Voyage to Where: and for Why? Can’t Solve the Mission, No Matter How I Try Somewhere along the Path, Did I a Miss the Sign? That Tells Us What Awaits at the End of the Line It’s a Tough Journey Without Knowing the Goal Is it a Test to Determine the Plight of Ones’ Soul With So Many Earthly Versions, its So Hard to Tell Is There Really a Heaven? Is There Really a Hell? Of All the Earthly Guesses Are Any of Them True Is this a Test? Is this a Game? I Wish Someone Knew If So, What Are the Conditions, I Need to Know More What’s Fair, What’s Foul. And Who’s Keeping Score Earthly Consensus Claims That this Is Just a Trial Rewards or Punishments Are an Awaiting Denial With So Many Final Options its So Hard to Chose Choosing the Wrong Tenet Will Cost You to Lose Hindu, Moslem, Christian, Jew. They Are All the Same We Continue On, When We Reach the End of the Game Or Is this All Nonsense: a Made up Plan on the Fly No One Wants to Cease, When its Time to Say Goodbye Come Back as Someone Else, a Flea, Dog or Cheetah Enter Pearly Gates, Get a Harp, Cloud from St. Peter Indigenous Peoples Wed to the Earth Make the Claim Our Spirit Returns to the Earth from Whence it Came
