Sermon In the Valley

Happy are the powerful
your greatness will increase
more body-guards up there

Happy are the humble
your rewards will decrease
for being cowards on earth

Happy are the terrible
your terror will shine
golden medals awaiting 

Happy are the lovers of peace
your agony will be unbearable
A traitor you were on earth

Happy are the ascetics
no seeing God up there
you refused earthly joy
