Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Awaiting News

Like most folks, I guess I did live

My life in kind of a mixed bag.

Sometimes I'd take, sometimes I'd give,

Bad or good stuff, found ways to brag

To put myself in the best light,

Which is a human nature game.

I'd go to church, thinking that might

Make some points in heavenly aim.

And then this life had its ending.

I wondered what was next for me.

The church was right about this thing.

In purgatory I now be.

I'm awaiting now from abroad.

I'm awaiting judgement from God.
