Who Goes to Heaven?

=================================== 

There was a twisted serial murderer,

captured by a priest and a soldier.

Close to the gate of a big city,

the murderer managed to seize

a sharp knife from them,

and ran away to the crowded city...
 

"Shot him, Father! Kill him!"

The soldier screamed at the priest,

who held the gun at that time.

"No, my son! Killing is forbidden.

You'll go to hell if you do so."

"But, he'll kill many more people,

if we let him go!"

"Still my son, killing is forbidden.

Heaven won't accept the people

who are willing to kill others."

The soldier snatched away the gun,

and shot the murderer, right in his

head.

"I don't mind going to hell, Father.

As long as the people there are

safe, I'm willing to sacrifice my

soul."

Who goes to heaven?

There was a thief, who came at night

to the houses in town.

Stealthily, he took money from those

houses, and brought it home,

to feed the homeless children

who thought he was their leader.

Then, the thief got caught,

by an honest policeman who tries his best

to fulfill the duty laid down on

his shoulder.

"I must put you to jail, thief.

Why did you keep stealing?

Don't you know that it is a sin?"

The thief smiled sadly,

"I don't mind to be shackled

by the heavy weight of sins...

For this world is unfair,

and little can be done honestly

by a poor man like me.

However, it's just not right for me

to let those dear to me

suffer from pain and hunger."

"Those kids you feed,

they are not your family,

nor they are your relatives..."

"That might be true,

but when I see their heartbreaking pain,

I just can't help myself

to do my best for their sake."

"It's breaking my heart too, thief.

but I must do what my duty told me to do."

"Go ahead, Sir. I have said it before,

I don't mind to suffer from this sin,

since I've done my best

for this little conscience of mine..."

Who goes to heaven?
