LAND OF LOVE

 “Lord, How ta make poetic beauty last?” “Ya need ta live the love which you describe. The beauty may be real, but soon it’s past, unless it’s endless love ya always vibe!” “Lord, help my love be constant, true, and kind; please, help me persevere in love each day. May all who come ta me such kindness find, that Love’s the Land where they will choose ta stay!”

WHEN DOES HEAVEN START?

When Does Heaven Start?
"Heaven is the experience of life as it really is."


Now, Isn't Truth important anymore? Should propaganda rule our lives inStead? Do Only true believers know the Score? And Are we seein' Straight, when We see Red? Should fears and hate be substitutes fer love? Should greed and cynicism fill our hearts? It's Paradise-on-Earth I'm Dreamin' Of! It's when we Trust in Christ That Heaven starts!

A LOVE THAT'S TRUE

A Love That's True


When Greed directs the lives of heartless fools, it's Only Love kin Overcome that Force. When lovingkindness ain't the Thing that rules, too Many folks don't Know that Christ's their Source. And so I gotta practice Peace each day, let Perfect Love cast Out recurrent fears. I gotta daily make some time ta Pray... and wait until the fog of ego Clears. Please, help me every day ta Love my self, dear Lord, ta Love my neighbors, foes, and You. 'Cause People won't reSpond ta Nuthin' Else! I Gotta Show the World a LOVE that's TRUE!

TO AN UNBELIEVER

To an Unbeliever

“Catastrophe”. “Extinction”. Scary Names! “Annihilation”, that's another word. Our government is playing crazy games, and All Those Things Could Overcome Our Herd! I'm Trying Not ta Give a shit too much, but Still, we Need to practice Loving Care. We Need ta practice Telepathic Touch; that's Called “comPassion” (nowaDays too Rare). It's Time fer All of Us ta Git more Hip! Let's Choose ta Love, be Grateful, Now and Here! This bummer, All of Us can choose ta Flip; choose Heaven Now, my friend, and Not next Year!

Eternity meets Time right Here and Now, the Place where BuddhaChrist aWaits your Call! And Even if ya Claim ta Not know How, all Heaven's gonna Know ya Chose ta Stall! So when ya gonna Cop?
