Which way will I go

 Which way will I go

I wonder where it is I am going when I

leave this place and finally say goodbye

will I get my wings and fly to heaven

or am I going straight to hell when I

die, to tell the truth, I do not know it's

very hard to say, have I sinned? Yes

I have almost every single day, I have

danced with the devil with tickets

that I stole then I killed his demon

when it tried to steal my soul, I have

gotten drunk and did some drugs

but that was many years ago then

saved some lives with just my words

and I even fought a war for love, so

will I fly up to heaven or will I fall to

hell will Jesus come to save me or

does the devil have control, the bible

tells us that God created us in His

likeness so does that mean he is

short fat and bald like me or does

it mean that He wears a dress he is

a she and sits down to go pee, there

are three sides to a story after all and

I just want to understand if I could

talk to the devil for just a few minutes

to hear his version of what happened

and why it was he was cast out of

heaven and why in God's name did he

then curse man from within, then

we have the story of the first man

whose name was Adam and his

wife named Eve, not much of a story

really because woman are still the

same besides the snake was bigger

the fruit was sweeter what more can

I say I wonder when I die which way

will I go do I take the stairway to

heaven or am I already on the

Highway to hell. I guess I will wait

until Saint Peter decides to call

my name on my judgment day

so when I stand at the gates of

heaven I will still have a chance

to explain please forgive me for

I know that I have sinned but at

least I never killed anyone and

my heart was always kind I tried

my best to reject all the hate

while making love to as many

women I could find, I spilled my

ink from Gods own well with

words the He supplied hoping

I put a smile on somebody's face

and maybe changed a life.
