Cloud music !!
Len Lewis 1943 (Port of Spain, Trinidad)
Consider judgement day
One digital event.
You're having your final say
Before the great Omnipotent.
Your soul on bended knee
You may not have to answer
For the sin of gluttony;
Or unclean meats you'd eaten
from the land or from the sea;
webbed footed bird; or cloven hoof;
or fish that had no scales;
nor social and unsocial potions
quaffed enjoying funny tales;
or other laws of health you broke,
for those already would have ruined
your terrestrial body.
but on that judgement day you see
your penchant for humanity
will come under strict scrutiny.
did you do unto others
as you'd have had them do unto you?
for yes; press one.
That men could see your good works
Did you let your light so shine?
For yes; press one.
Did you honour your mother and father
whatever their circumstances?
for yes; press one;
and so on; and so on and so on.
Will there be diminuendo
as cloud music fades away;
or triumphant crescendo
as upstairs you make your way?
