THE CHOICE

Ever since i could remember
being told that death sends us
to either god or satan, heaven or hell,
but the more i observe, and ponder,
it dawns upon me that this world
is both heaven and hell
we live the life we think
is reserved for us after our end,
within each of us lives a demon
and an angel, it’s the mouth we feed
that ironically engulfs us into its being
some men bequeath upon us hell,
demons worshipping a mythical god
pathetically attempting to justify their sins
others tend to the goodness inside them
they bring paradise to a planet that
somewhere lost its soul, and its purpose
if these angels and demons live freely within us
then of course, heaven and hell can’t function
as our afterlife destinations
they are a choice, that defines us
moulds us into who we are
our contribution to this world 
in either polluting it with hatred,
or enriching it with the seed of 
love, and hopefully a better world.
