What do you think this poem is about?

23feb14 The Day After: This House

an earthquake here
like that this house
will fall judgement day
I have made my choices

but where really
is your house built?

a house
built
on sand?

or a house built
on the rock mass?

better a tin shack
in heaven
or a mansion in hell?
