Do
not shout Hallelujah!
Don't
sing a Gloria!
Look
at the world.
There's
no call for euphoria.
Nor
has there been
since
Queen Victoria
slept
in the Royal Suite
at
the Waldorf-Astoria.
Life
is just nasty
life
is just cruel
life
is just like
junior
high school:
à
la carte,
less
sweet, more tart.
The
afterlife is also unfair.
When
you get to “heaven”
you'll
find no bodies there.
You
(maybe) expected eternal bliss?
Sorry,
that heaven does not exist.
In
myriad ways that is just as well.
If
there is no heaven, there may be no hell.
