This is an interesting POV that works well, Dan. Your few words should make readers examine their faith in life. Your pictures add to the enjoyment. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

This poem, Heaven's Gate, has an ironic flair to it as the point is made about how heaven is a gated community with vetting and pre-qualifications, while hell is as easy to get into as the southern border of the United States.

Few would walk willingly into the pits of hell thought friend, but there would be a stampede if those pearly gates suddenly swung open, ha ha. A cool choice of accompanying art which definitely complimented your words.

A very well-written poem about the difference between border control and open borders that will create hell with all the people entering without the control over who enters.

Typo
Hell has Open Boarders(borders)

Thanks for the comments. This works as the habitants as well but you are the only one that noticed the mistake off "boarders" = habitants and "borders" = boundaries. I actually plan on changing it to the later.

For sure - open borders - it's unfortunate so many chose to cross those borders, giving never a care toward finding God, enjoying God's blessing, being forgiven and welcomed into heaven.
good poem

This ultra-concise piece couldn't be more powerful if it were twenty lines long! Those who don't believe in Hell are lost, and that's where they're going. Stunning artwork

Interesting poem on heaven and hell. The images were perfect for your piece. Of course everybody would like to go through the Heaven Gates. But only time will tell. Thank you for sharing this thought provoking poem. Blessings. ~Brenda

-So nice to see you
back on FS, Dan.
-I hope all is well with you.
-Good images for your poems.
-Each one has a good message, too.
-You show the contrast well
between the two.
-The last one is effective because
of two meanings of boarders,
depending on how you spell it.
-Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome.

The statement is certainly graphic with those two striking images. The message is clear from the images alone. The upper couplet rhymes nicely. Thanks for sharing.
