Mankind believed – and I was a believer,
That on your death a band of angels would
Conduct your soul to paradise there to
Enjoy a life of pious luxury.
The other possibility, endorsed
By me and many others, did envisage
A rowdy crowd of devils dragging me
Through fires searing sinful, wicked flesh.
I think that age has taught me an alternative.
To wit there are no angels and no devils.
And life is nothing but a one-way street,
A towering unresponsive wall stands at the end.
