Matt Starking Poet Classicism

Why Is Heaven For the Death

They say heaven is sweet
And when you get there
God gives you a nice treat
For there's no pain
And more to entertain
But why does only the death
Goes to heaven
And not the living
For the death has no feeling
They have no mouth to talk
No legs to walk
And no eyes to see
But the living are the ones
Who needs to be free and happy
But what do we see
The living labor in pain
And there's nothing to gain
All his effort in vain
Why is heaven for the death
And not the living
