I watched some guy today on one of the morning shows <br />who said he died once and went to Heaven <br />When at the age of twelve he tried to swim the entire length of a pool <br />underwater while holding one breath....he didn't make it. <br />Some friends pulled him from the cold blue water and revived him <br />He later claimed he had gone to heaven and it was a most beautiful place <br />Years later in his relatively short and uneventful life of substance abuse <br />He decided he would commit suicide to get back into Heaven <br />So....he downed a bunch of sleeping pills with booze <br />Falling asleep....hoping a peaceful end to a lackluster life <br />He recalled that he was floating towards an open sky <br />but then with a sudden and shocking dive he descended into Hell <br />A hot humid place of black and white two dimensional figures <br />He heard voices of people whom he had been mean to in life <br />They started shoving him without ever touching him....filling him with panic <br />Fearful that he had pissed God off and God had forsaken him....he woke up <br />Now he's selling his book based on the story of what he experienced....... <br />I don't intend to read it as I have made both these trips myself.... <br />I've lived in Hawaii and I once spent a week in Philadelphia.... <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-death-we-all-go-somewhere/
