Heaven and Hell

by MLE B. (Emily B. - Cancer

In dreams,
you can see glimpses
of heaven and all it's wonders.
Flowers atop mountains far
and the clear blue ocean lapping steadily at the tan sea shore.
If you look closely, 
you can find this on earth.
Heaven on earth.

In dreams,
you can see glimpses
of hell and all it's horrors.
Poverty climbing the international crisis list
and war,death and diease everywhere you turn.
You do not have to look closely
to find this on earth.
Hell on earth.

Reason for writing:

    One morning, I was rushing to get my grade 7 (yes, I'm in grade 7) poetry assignment done. I was thinking of what I should write when I thought about the great wonders of the world, which made me think of the great crisis' of the world. And I just started writing.
