The Gift of a Sensitized Soul

Beyond the “End”
Richard
CLF member, incarcerated in NY
Do you believe in heaven?
Then there is no end.
Do you believe in hell?
Then there is no end.
Do you believe in spirit?
Then there is no end.
Will man destroy
what God has wrought?
Maybe.
You’d think we’d learn
That we don’t really count
in the grand scheme of things.
The scheme put in place
millions of years ago,
the scheme that will end
millions of years from now.
Our place here and now is but an eye-blink,
but we are here.
We are all part of the scheme.
After all —
We helped create it
and what we do
between beginning and end
is entirely up to us.
