Show Them Heaven and Hell

Show them Heaven and Hell…………By Peter Onyancha

If I met the devil
For just one moment
I would thank him
For staying in hell
All his erstwhile  
Then I will ask him, in his kink
To leave his dwelling for once
And visit my history stutter
Show him the Hell
And point to Heaven
At the eleventh hour.

If I met the good Lord
For just one moment
I would thank Him
For watching hell
All his hallowed while
Then I will ask him, in his name
To leave the trinity for once
And visit my history student
Show him where you dwell
And tell him there’s hell, too

A thought-provoking poem, Peter. I wonder what inspired this writing. Perhaps you are pondering the differences between heaven and hell now. Welcome to Poetry Soup. Best wishes, Carolyn
