Judgment

Have you lived an honest life?
Have you given the gift of good deeds,
and contributed all you can to charity?
Did you earn the right to be elected into Heaven?

Risen from their graves, the humans reach
up to grasp the hand of a grounded angel,
who swoops them swiftly into the clouds,
transporting them promptly towards Paradiso.

Have you cheated your companions?
Have you lied to liberate yourself,
and stolen from the sinless?
Do you deserve to be damned to Hell?

Risen from their graves, the humans are relayed
into the care of the demon, conquered by his
violence and vicious words as he
instigates their passage into Inferno.

What destiny do you demand?
Which of these fates lies before you?
Did you earn the right to be elected into Heaven?
Do you deserve to be damned to Hell?
