Creatures crawling towards your feet.
Welcome to Heaven.
Feathers ablaze with beaten wings.
Welcome to Heaven.
Thunder roaring, lightning exploding.
Welcome to Heaven.
Your name and billet await your body.
Welcome to Heaven.
A motherless child is starving, crying.
Welcome to Heaven.
A man watching over with a chuckle and a grin.
Welcome to Heaven.
Sad souls ask for Hell, Desperate ones beg for purgatory.
Welcome to Heaven.
You accepted Jesus as our savior, but this is God's revenge.
Welcome to Heaven.

The author's comments:
I got bored in math and I was thinking about how everyone says, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." However, everyone does that with Heaven so I thought of the opposite of what Heaven is like in society's mindset
