Heaven & Hell

Do your words sharpen,

  as your feelings dull

 

Do your actions harken,

  what’s still to cull

 

Do your wheels spin faster,

  as you sink in place

 

Does the meaning retreat,

  as you blindly chase

 

Do your moments forecast

  or serve to remind

 

Does the past just bookmark

  what your future declines

 

Does the master you serve

  in false prophecy dwell

 

Do you still have the choice

  —between Heaven and Hell
