Words once heard, inside my head: <br /> <br />Satan speaks first: <br /> <br />Denying yourself pleasure, for you fear the pain <br />In a state of confusion, life is only an illusion. <br />Strange behaviour, looking for a Saviour, <br />Redeem and repent, for your time not well spent. <br />Dreams become nightmares, <br />A snake gave the apple, chased out with evil stares, <br />Out of Eden’s gates, into that deep, black hole. <br />Spent a lot of time between Heaven and Hell <br />What’s yours, I can now make mine, <br />Your pain, I can well foretell, <br />Stay close to my fire, feel the warmth in your soul. <br />The pleasure you desire, only I can console, <br />Deny not the pleasure, do not fear the pain, <br />In your state of confusion, life is only an illusion <br />Follow me, my child! <br /> <br />STOP! <br /> <br />God interrupts: <br /> <br />I am the Saviour, <br />Redeem and repent, for your time not well spent. <br />A snake gave the apple, so what? <br />It was not you. <br />Hold my hand, I will make you feel fine. <br />Listen to me, and listen well. <br />This much I will foretell, <br />No more wasting time <br />Between Heaven and Hell. <br />Feel the warmth in your soul, <br />If true pleasure you desire, <br />I will help you gain control. <br />Deny not the pleasure, <br />Fear not the pain. <br />Life is not an illusion, <br />No need for confusion. <br /> <br />Believe in me, <br />Believe in yourself, <br />Then this I will tell, <br /> <br />You’ll no longer be stuck <br />Between <br />Heaven and Hell.<br /><br />Fab Ricciardi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/purgatory-between-heaven-and-hell/
