My spirit dwells in heaven’s hell.
You ask how can a hell be in heaven.
I will answer your inquiry with my story.
I had led a criminal life but found God
After two years of living in a prison cell.
My conversion was not out of love
But out of the fear of going to hell.
Though I believed, I played a game
Of hide and seek from Satan’s domain.
Since I failed to rightly hit the mark,
God sent me to heaven’s temporary hell
With a lukewarm boring preacher
Whose empty babblings torment me
While I work to gain God’s favor
Seeking him for the right reason.
And with time and religious fervor,
I’ll be released from this heaven’s hell,
A true believer and with God I’ll dwell.
Bob Boyd
