Fantasy!

A round tour!
Fantasy!
What is it like, being dead?
This thought was running lying on bed.
I temporarily leave this world.
Wow! I am in the sky flying like a bird.
I reach the heaven.
HE is asleep even after seven!
I decide to visit hell.
Seen are several heads peeping out of window sill.
They are trying to escape, I presumed.
I was wrong; I am told.
All were watching the earth.
Thanking profusely for leaving their place of birth!
Hell is a far better place to live in.
It was a blessing and not a curse that they committed a sin.
What is happening?
My head starts reeling.

Amazing is my fantasy tour.
Not a moment is a bore.
I am in heaven.
HE is ready, cleanly shaven!
Flower bed makes HIS path.
Did HE have a perfumed bath?
All over is lavender fresh fragrance.
I look at HIM in total reverence.
HE is served breakfast.
HE eats fruit and drinks milk and walks fast.
Orders are issued.
Punishments are pronounced.
Members of heaven are left on their own.
To the people in hell, no mercy is shown.
I follow HIM.
HIS costume is smart and trim.
Slipping in to HIS shoes, he turns grim.

HE makes a list.
My anxiety is put to test.
What next???
What’s happening behind closed room?
Am I seeing a dream?!
No, it is not so.
These people have to go.
HE nods to lieutenants’ bow.
The group starts packing.
Where are they going?
‘Despatch’ is ready.
I too am ready.
I follow them to their destination.
Involuntarily is let out an exclamation!
I land on my home land.
Thud! I fall on my bed!!!!!!!
