Two Gates

Two Gates
If you look to your left
You shall see a darkened gate.
Many have entered and come
Taking the well worn path
That is broad and beat down.
And if you look to your right,
Look hard and you may see
A wondrous golden gate.
Few have come and entered
To take a path less taken
That is narrow and hard.
Yet, if you look ahead
You may see that at the end
Of the broad path lies fire
And torment and destruction.
The heat is intense and suffocating
the ground contains torturing worms
That eat at the human flesh to wreak
Havoc and the new souls forever.
Eternally, the patrons gnash their teeth.
But that, that is for the goats,
The ones who choose the beckoning
Of the broad and easy path.
But if you look ahead
Up on the narrow path
The end leads to a life eternal.
Life with contentment and joy.
Tilt your ear in that direction
And hear the noise inside
The noise that end contains
Holds angels songs and praise.
And if you lift to there your face
You may be able to feel
The angels breath and see the dance
That the angels joyous dancing!
This, my friend, this is for the sheep.
