Sorry, No Purgatory

A tree is known by its fruit, this we know.
Actions prove the person as these always show
What he believes,  and the truth he imparts
What comes out of the mouth reveals the heart.
It's easy to don pious robes that hide 
The venom of man that he keeps inside.
But God sees the heart and will surely weigh
Each man for his words and his deeds today.
Know that His Word stands firm perfectly
There's Heaven and Hell, no Purgatory!

"It is appointed unto man to die once,
and after that comes the judgment."
