Intended satire <br /> <br />I've been thinking about Heaven <br />And still hoping to get in; <br />But I wonder if it's worth it, <br />Giving up our sex and sin. <br /> <br />Would we stop our drinking, gambling, <br />Leave our money at the gate, <br />Mingle with all creeds and colors, <br />Leaving no one to berate. <br /> <br />And how about the luxury <br />Of materialistic things; <br />Our cars, our pets, our boats and such, <br />Oh! The comfort that each brings. <br /> <br />Now, this is for eternity <br />And surely we should love it, <br />But deep within my heart, I feel <br />Some further need to covet. <br /> <br />All these things keep me thinking, for <br />They are somewhat provoking, <br />But I will keep on trying and <br />I hope God knows I'm joking.<br /><br />Joseph Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-this-and-heaven-too/
