If Heaven ruled on Earth?

If Heaven ruled on Earth?

A Poem by Onlyme

If heaven was here on earth,
would it be a better place
in general?
Or would nothing change?
Would illnesses, famine, greed
and upsets. Let alone evil
still dwell in humans hearts
and souls.
Do we really understand heaven
and it's intentions and interpretations
we are lead to believe in from the holy books.
That everything is perfect, bliss-filled and
euphoric.
Or are we just kidding ourselves on?
And being lead to perceive all is at peace
up there when you pass away.
I have no answers but I just wonder at
times.  Would it be any better if heaven
ruled on earth?
I guess this is all nonsense and just thinking
out loud.

I think that heaven can be here for those with a frame of mind that allows it, and I don't expect it would be much different in the afterlife if we can't seem to enjoy the little pieces of heaven we experience everyday here. I could be way wrong and many will say I am, but this miracle that we call living, is as spectacular in its joy and pain as I could ever imagine. Great thought provoking read today Dawn...thank you!

Dawn -
Again - we must hope and I daresay pray, that things are so much better in heaven than here. It would be the greatest hoax of all time if it were not. Then again, we wouldn't know until - well it's too late.

Take care - Dave

I look outside at the snow and I think. This is a horrid day, then I turn on the news and then I think, you know what, my day is not so bad.
