What Would Heaven be Like? Since time immemorial humans Have searched for a god That left them in this dump And if he or she did not exist They certainly felt the need to Invent him To swim Through the fear that after death There is nothing at all. What a fall That would be from the visions Of heaven, Paradise We have imagined but have little Notion Of what would really be there To stare At Like that unreachable place, Unconquerable girl A pearl you can’t buy. So if there is a heaven Would it really be that great? What would stop the assholes From invading? And fucking it up. God? Like he did here on earth? A hundred people can build a house. And one idiot with a match Can burn it down? Why is the world stacked To make evil more easy than good? Misunderstood? But up there in the heaven everyone Prays to get to. Things are all right. For sure! A cure. For all the maladies We know. Angels! A Virgin Mary. Mohammed. The Buddha too. so are all the questions answered there? To stare back at us! To make sense of everything? Will we know who killed JFK? Ok Or if Noah’s ark ever existed? UFO’s Who knows. Will it be like a constant orgasm? A toot of coke with no end? and if you are a remarried widow? Who will you be in a holy Monogamous relationship with? The first or second husband? Will you get to see Ali vs Tyson? And how do you know eternity Will not be boring Leaving you snoring For an exit? An eternal death to escape this Burden of immortality! All I know is I don’t know The riddle. And if a heaven exists at All. I have so many visions Of it. But it would never be heaven If my dad and mom and wife, and all the ones I ever loved Dog too! Weren’t there To welcome me in.
