I saw the heaven (Published in The Indian, Sydney Sept.11 edition)

Last night, I was drowned in a dream.
Angels came and played as my team.
An angel asked me if I wanted to go!
Where're the heaven and the hell, to show.

Just for a day, she agreed to take.
After visiting the place, at once to go back.
The first door appeared, was of the hell.
Let me see this first! curiously I did tell.

I saw a big table, full of variety dishes.
Continental, Indian and delicious fishes.
People sat around but deprived of boons. 
Their both hands tied with long spoons.

None could eat, hands went here and there.
Food was spread on floor and everywhere.
Kingdom of flies and germs ruled over.
Anarchy, disorder, battle for food to hover.

Habitats of Hell fought and hurt each other.
Snatching others food as starved forever.
No one ate properly, they remained hungry.
It’s a madhouse, for the reasons sundry.

In selfish needs they caused others to kill. 
Did various sins and tortured by devils.
Now I'll take you to heaven, the angel said.
We reached heaven, that was just ahead.

Their also, variety of dishes on a big table
People had their hands tied with long ladles.
But there, I noticed the scene was different.
Habitats didn't give themselves, any preference.

They had made a system instead of himself,
Each member was feeding someone else.
Orderly system kept; place was nice n neat.
I was amazed everyone was able to eat.

With co-operation they fulfilled their needs.
Angels helped and hopped for their deeds.
No fight, no battle and no hotchpotch situation.
Everyone was enjoying, in the God’s heaven.
