Symptoms

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Dec 27, 2020 

Heaven.
Hell.
No such
places.
No such
constructs.
Save
in the
mind
of man
Concepts.
Earthly 
concepts.
Human 
concepts.
Heaven.
Hell.
Human
constructs.
Good.
Evil.
Human
symptoms.
Human
mirrored
image of 
things.
Human
mirrored
image of
self.
Imagining 
what is
seen.
Seeing 
what is 
imagined.
Heaven.
Hell. 
Not 
somewhere.
Not
someplace,
someplace
out there.
Not 
unseen.
Resides
within.
Within
the soul
of man.
Heaven.
Hell.
Reside within.
Lived everyday.
Within!
