Revelation


///////////////////////////////////////////////

HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE

(Jean-Paul Sartre)

///////////////////////////////////////////////


Hell is other people who

No matter what you do

Always find something to judge

They drag you through the sludge


And see through your thin disguise

As they shred you with their eyes

All their faults and lack

They place upon your back


Unable to see their own transgression

It becomes their only obsession

To find all of your flaws

And all your broken laws


And they won't even let you live

Because they refuse to forgive


....


Heaven is other people who

No matter what you do

Choose to see the best

In you and forget the rest


They don't dwell on your sin

Since they want all to win

They don't create divisions

By their prideful derisions


Of those with whom they differ

For they know that the transfer

Of their own guilt to another

Will come back and smother


Their efforts to be free

And their search for unity
