I NEVER CLAIMED HELL WAS HOT
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
I never claimed to be any sort of angel or demon we are all our sinners, losers, and winners, so come on, lay me down on the ground you choose to worship, and let us speak our truths are so-called words of wisdom for my intergalactic intelligence comes from centuries of experience.
I never claimed to be anything or anyone. I am sitting here in this field searching for all those things, people, and miracles that were ever promised, yet with many years upon my head, I realize they are never coming, so I get out of my way so I can hold this universe in my heart, for now, I claim to be part of the things other worlds care not, and now I notice the ground. It is covered in different truths, and it is like hell hot.
What is being claimed in the words and the name of others? How is it people say hell is hot and heaven is cold? I had walked through their gates just like I owned the place when I said in both of these legendary lands, turn up the air condition turn up the heat because I never said heaven is cold, nor did I say hell is hot.
