I was trying to place Hell.
I was certain it lay
beneath Earth’s crust.
The core is hot enough—
but what man can pass through that mantle?
Brush aside leaves and litter,
push through humus, clay, sand and silt,
shovel dirt too dense even for water—
eventually one hits rock.
What then?
It’s a long wait ,
no guarantee tectonic plates
will shift enough
for souls to slip through.
I found similar problems
trying to locate Heaven.
Outside gravity there is no “up there”,
only finite space
looking infinite.
Angels in white—
eternally screeching
rejoice, rejoice
What is the point of that?
God could be perfect,
omnipotent, everlasting.
God could be anything.
Let’s say God has a hair-lip
limps. Wears a colostomy bag.
I think he is ineffectual,
even if somewhat loving.
He keeps himself distant
letting humans be humans.
