The Ultimate Optimist

What if you find,
After a life of toil and trouble,
Wins and losses, you are resident in Hell?
There may still be a place for optimism.

Believing you deserve a better location,
It will likely take some time
To reconcile prior beliefs
With your current situation.

I’m convinced, based on nothing,
That the next step will be to plan.
Knowing you are misplaced,
How do you move up, WAY up.

Where are the exit signs?
What good deeds can you do?
Even god can make a mistake,
Look at the almost infallible Pope.

Perhaps a change of name, address,
Or a renunciation of past hiccups
Will get you a ride to the top?
Within the fires still an optimist.
