A Theory of Heaven and Hell 7
A a huge step past all prior thought
Heaven and creation wrought
On a journey that proceeds
Wherever it leads
2
To our conscious identity
Add Peirce’s continuity
Mix in teleology
Is this the sum of heavenly
3
Consider fallibility
Consider fraying friendships
Consider personality
Forgive us all our our slips
4
Imagine life continuing
Heaven as evolving
Imagine our world opening
See heaven as becoming
5
My friend’s grief was visible
Writ deeply in his eyes
War, self-slaughter terrible
A world at times despised
6
But now my friend is unified
One with Abba growing
Still he lashes out with pride
As though unforgiving
7
Which seems to say heaven nor earth
Seek after perfection
They take us as we all must be
Free to set direction
