They Say We Die Twice

by: Anonymous

They say we die twice

once our actual death

when i return to being energy

and join the cosmos

for a eternity

or I’m allowed the opportunity the enter the white pearly gates of a heaven

and have discussions with God

“No, you fucked up here. Every thing else…. that was pretty good”

Or the ground will open like a fiery fissure

and swallow me whole

and hold me to the end of time

as i pay for what ever sinister acts i have carried out in this life

or maybe its an honor

I’m granted the opportunity

to spit in the face of the Great tormentor of damned souls
