  Against the War

User Rating:

9.4 /10
(8 votes)



  The insanity of each battle,
And people attack each other
And people die..

Somewhere, Miles away,
Families cry,
And tears show no preferences,
They visit everyone
Along with pain
That decides to stay a bit longer...

God shows no preferences
at Paradise’s gates no passport is asked
Just the identity of the soul,
Nationality: the Tribe of kindness.
And when angels are given their wings
No questions are asked,
The colour doesn’t matter,
Archangels are blind,
The nation doesn’t matter,
Archangels come from Heaven
And Heaven is a miniature of the Earth,
All that matters is the beauty of the heart,
Archangels have studied Art…

Ivy Christou

hmmmm... i dont know... how do i say. your references to the angels are.. uhm perfect. and the way you said god loves all his children.. ya know. i agree with that a lot. in times of seems like we are trying to prove ourselve but, to who? god would be the best person. cause in the end who else do we have to impress?

Very powerful, Ivy. I hope everyone reads this one as our memory of such things is short.

Heaven will be required to utilize biometric passports starting January 1 2007.

Very thoughtful and full of lovely ideas, Ivy. I love the thought of not having to produce a passport to Heaven - not that the chances are all that great.
