St. Peter’s Gate _ new poetry November 2025

St. Peter's Gate 

Now i may 

Be old fashioned 

By not using his name 

But he negotiated 

With the devil 

And borrowed his fame 

Nothing but evil 

And greed is the game 

Yet he gotta pay it back 

It's Sunday and every Sunday 

It's just the facts 

If he really wants heaven 

You want to get in

Go get on your knees 

And confess to Jesus 

All your hideous sins.

If he really wants heaven 

Well. Hey. Start with Mass.

Then show an ounce of class

He disgraced the human race 

Stop being an example of trash

By the way try not to be late 

Don't make judgement wait 

"Sisamnes can't make your case,"

The devil patiently states.

Ultimately there's no debate
