Pondering Around

Adam s Creation Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo JBU33cut.0

A life was pondering around
Between the sky and the earthworms
Neither there nor here
A life destined to be
Meaningful or meaningless

One day the Lord asked him:
`You are wasting your time
Between the sky and the earthworms
Why don’t you come down here
And chose between heaven or hell?’

He said: `Thank you sir,
I would rather ponder around here
For my heaven and hell
Are in this world of pondering around’.
