One doesn’t wait for them to be found;

one doesn’t wait for them to be earned

Your hell is here, your heaven is around;

and so far this is all that I have learned

Read more: Your Hell is here; your heaven is around

The day of judgment comes every day;

apocalypse invisible, but it is all around us

You have to see beyond your foolish way;

and no need to make a big damn fuss

---

Your heaven exists in the smile and admiration;

the ones that you love and fondly cherish

Your hell resides in the jealousy damnation;

foes, you would like to see gone and perish

---

Your heaven is the warmth of satisfaction;

glowing in your forgiving and kind heart

Your hell is the freezing regret and inaction;

that has been always there since the very start

---

Your heaven is the affection that you always get;

dispense to those few who merit and deserve

Your hell is the hatred that you sometimes beget;

the one which burns and the one you serve   

---

Your heaven is all the troubles you ever defeat;

dilemmas and conflicts that you always solve

Your hell is the troubles that bind your feet;

acid that dissolves your steely resolve

---

Your heaven is the character that you build;

slowly and gradually, over a period of time

Your hell is the overwhelming wave of guilt;

that brings in the filth, stains, and the grime

---

Your heaven is the company of loving friends;

the company that keeps you happy and warm

Your hell is a long winter night that never ends;

loneliness – a devastatingly silent snowstorm

---

One doesn’t wait for them to be found

One doesn’t wait for them to be earned

Your hell is here, your heaven is around;

and so far this is all that I have learned
