The Real Gospel


Little children!

I wish not, 

To nousish and flatter

your baby ears

With jokes and banter

What I want

To tell you today,

is the way to heaven.

 

The road itself,

is not heavenly at all,

you will rise

you will fall

 

Get disturbed,

even hurt

Get texts

and phone-calls; 

from friends

who will break you

and take you to the mall!

"come on,

Why can't you be

like the others?"

 

Just so that you forget,

the goal!

Heaven.

 

Many will faint

along the way

give up hope

and give in to tastes.

 

Many will hop onto strange cars

or succmb to tempting shortcuts

Just to get there fast!

But let me tell you again

of the only place

without any shortcuts!

Heaven.

 

This heaven

is that secret haven

in your heart

Search

and you shall find,

Come on, don't fight it

it's in you, little children!

 

Heaven is found

in the pure art and creativity

that soothes your senses

and adds magic

to the hell we live in

that is

Heaven.
