Mario Benedetti: Heaven

Our torturers are generally catholic
they believe in the holy trinity
and martyr their fellow creatures as a means
of combating the antichrist
but when they die they don't go to heaven
because murderers aren't allowed there

their victims on the other hand are martyrs
and might even be angels or saints
they'd rather be buthcered than be traitors
but they don't go to heaven either
because to them there's no such thing.

(translated by Louise B. Popkin)
