A question is asked - is there Heaven or Hell?
We need not guess - for we know it well;
We need not wait till the Epitaph is read,
For in Man’s own mind the answer is bred;
Written there in his most beloved stain —
In crimson written the envoy of pain...

But if you undaunted must club and spike —
At your own delusion direct first strike
— To where avarice and vanity dwell,
Behind a curtain of make-believe spell;
Pull the truth from the deceitful mire
And spell final doom to your false attire —

Then Heaven on Earth shall greet your kind;
What you’ve been seeking — here you shall find.

interesting way of wording an opinon
  the answere does lay deep inside man and when there is no other than the love for all humanity  it shall be shown  if one  does not seek
