IX.V
Wondering how many sticks of English pine
she might have sent upstairs if this were true
leads her to realise a shanty town divine
implies a capitalist Heaven view.
If those who led such selfless lives on Earth
became the wealthiest of Heaven's folk
then selfless acts were not selfless at birth
but investing for the Afterlife had capital awoke.
If evil acts, repented, got you in through pearly gates
but left you destitute when once inside
then payments to the church were just delaying fate
and earned you poverty eternal when you died.
