The Heaven’s door

Loading ...This poem compares the dusty red closed door to the heaven gates, which have been closed for a long time by God as He thinks that evil-beings are increasing on earth & goodness is becoming rare and thus He closes the entrance to the heaven.
The narrator though does not understand whether God has closed the doors in protest or he has a secret plan to clean the wrongs in the world.
Its been time, that goodness is seen,
and God isn’t keen, for long He hasn’t been,
the door to the heaven is locked and dusty
and He isn’t sponsoring goodness, I guess He’s no more a trustee.
The door stands locked and the heaven is blocked,
detour the route, for they will not be unlocked.
there is no business no more, no recruitment for years,
and God sleeps comfy and parties with his peers.
Does He plan a Pompeii of the Naples, for the self-centered ones,
a strike on the vice, that has grown in by tons.
So to be sure, there is no infiltration, there’s nobody creeping in,
God has kept the huge red door closed, to re-route the sin.
Meanwhile in this evil set up, the satan rejoices with a treat,
for he plans to build more open doors to bring in his devil fleet,
and in his intense growing control, he has flourished in his sinful feat
crime and grime is on its peak and people are in a mood to cheat.
For now the billboard at the hell, lure people towards the devil,
and they say for all the good business, he is no more as much evil,
for pity not those few good, they have a made a merry home there
and pity not for the dreadful ones, they still get their deserved share.
So in this new refuge, goodness may just, work in, its way,
and this influence of the righteousness in their stay, would in turn pay,
for He may have a benefit plan in mind or He may want to create a Pompeii,
for time-now, the door remains closed, let it be, so not speak of your dismay…..

nice!but frankly speaking,you could have interpreted something more unique from the contest picture.
and bro,just a suggestion,don’t explain your poem with the para you always include above a poem.the prompt-{here ‘he’ is god} was not needed…if the poem is good,everybody will understand.I just loved the way you dealt with the topic.
take a bow.
Good one and very imaginative…
Please edit “satin” to ” satan”. if I am not mistaken what you meant was the later and not the former…and I do agree with Shreyansh for the explanatory write-up that you put up above the poem…
Let the readers fancy and imagine.You just write and let it be…
A good interpretation.
With due respect…..whenever you use ‘God’ or referring to ‘Him’ as ‘He’…it should always be in caps- and then you dont need to put brackets-it is understood that you are referring to the Almighty .
Your poem has its unique taste. The use of day to day words like detour / reroute makes it more cool which is hard to find in recently poems.
Its a detour from classical thinking. I enjoyed this poem.
I think its good idea to provide a small gist of poem it helps reader understand writer perspective. I stress on the word small.
The poem has a different way of looking at the door, you would get all the fruits when the door will be opened.the poem is good.
Krishna- satan, you are right…..sorry for that…and thanks to you for indicating it.
Poemgeek/Poonam - Thanks for those words
Renu - God and Him and He should be Capital words….you are right, again thanks for the same.
I like your creativity and also your title heaven’s door. But you have to add something more and you can easily do that coz the way you present your winning poem an inexpensive dream.Well this is also wonderful.
Thanks Sandeep, I guess I would add more, but it would make the poem big and I think nobody now-a-days has the time to read big things, we are all on a fast track…..>>>>>>>
Preeti, God closing the doors is an pure imagination, and he has done this so many times as legends and epics have put forwards.
God can also go on Strike. Dont you think so.
Anyways, thanks for your comments, I really appreciate you putting your time for it.
A very nice poem indeed.
Liked it quite much.
The underlying thought & imagination running through the poem is quite enlightening.
Very well presented.
Poetry is Fun, playing around with words and somebody Else's Emotions and topics and sometimes playing around with your own experience and emotions.
So Isn't poetry a fun game.............you play with the world in a few lines.
hmmmm…..a unique theme and a valid one. I think that God hasn’t really closed the doors, its we who’re pushing him away from us….
Keep Writing!
