    The Gate

     Will there be
    Outcasts like us
    In heaven above
    Does anyone in heaven
    Know anything about love

     Been one all the while
    In this whole life
    Will this be true
    When I see Christ

     Will there be
    Rejection in heaven
    Been treated this way
    Before I was seven

     People seem to
    Want to see you pay
    Instead of taking time
    With you to pray

     Will I be judged
    When I reach the gate
    Will I be told
    I’m just not that great

     Will God greet me
    With open arms
    Or will He say
    You’ve caused too much
    Harm

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
