A poem about Heaven and Earth. In two parts.
Lamentations of an Agnostic

Part One

The bad news is that Heaven may not exist.
The good news is that if Heaven does exist,
Both humans and animals probably go there.
The really bad news is that if there is a Heaven,
It's probably only for the animals.
The really good news is that if you’re kind to animals,
You might go to Heaven.


Part Two

My greatest regret in life
is being trapped amid circumstances where I am forced,
absent all intent to do so, to kill many living beings.
Especially the smallest and most innocent
with whom I share this thing called existence.
Thus far, I have seen no indication
that I am either worthy or deserving of such power.
