Sestina #3 (Life of the "Damned")


As I stand at this gateway I think of heaven In my head it is framed As a world with no enemy A world with a perfect God A world colored gold by faith What is faith? Is it simply believing in a gateway? I do believe in a God I will go to heaven I had no enemy Until I was framed But why was I framed? When did I loose my faith? On Leviticus 18:22, I made an enemy As I looked at the gateway I could not enter heaven My enemy is God Is there even a God? Is he how the book framed? An invisible man in heaven For which I have no faith I cannot see any gateway God is my enemy I am now the world's enemy They still see a "God" They never had a gateway They were never honest, and fair, and framed They don't deserve my faith I will make my own heaven Because when I stood at the gateway to his heaven He framed me as the enemy He was my God, but now I have no faith
