Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 One Way - Which Way?

I was wealthy and the church said

Give us your money and you'll buy

A one way ticket when you're dead

To heaven, sounded good so I

Gave my money to the church and

When I died to heaven I went,

Just like the church and I had planned.

But at the Pearly Gates did vent

Saint Peter who called me a fool,

Said my angel status was bought,

And I had broken heaven's rule.

A new one way ticket I got.

Once an angel but then I fell,

With a one way ticket to hell.
