Up and Down

There's only one part to Heaven And seven parts to Hell A thousand kinds of demon And one kind of angel There's no room in the Underworld So Purgatory was made There's a billion kinds of sinner And a hundred kinds of saint Virtue is it's own reward But Gluttony is fruitful Wrath will get you what you want And Chastity's untruthful Purity is fine for some And undoubtedly less bad But Lust and Greed is twice as fun And only half as hard There's only one part to Heaven And seven parts to Hell There's a reason why Mankind Chose Virtue to dispel.
