Heaven or Hell?

Zena Williams 2009 (Calgary)

Free verse
What happens when we die?
Do we go up into the sky?
Do people have power over us?
Do we even get the chance to discuss?
How do we trust?
Life is just lust
Pain
Loss
Lessons
Overall just reproduction
Is this an illusion?
Are drugs the real world?
Is that any there so observed?
Why there so forbidden?
To distract our vision?
Of the world of vile
We just smiled
Like it’s nothing
It’s a cutting world
