A Better Way Poem by Paul Butters
A Better Way
There has to be a better way.
Than endless warring,
Selfish ways
And committing countless crimes:
Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Go look:
Beyond beyond:
Infinity eternal,
Eternal infinity,
Infinite eternity,
Eternity infinite.
The home of God,
In all its splendour.
Then see,
Within yourself:
I say again:
Heaven is in us,
Somewhere.

Hi Paul, great to read your work again! Love the hope and longing in this poem. Well done! !
I think that we all have a little bit of heaven in our soles, enjoyed your poem Aloan
Beautiful ideas, expressed in very original and well written verses. I agree so much that society is pulling or is trying to pull us into its obsession with thoughts of lack, fear and worries, but somewhere inside of us, heaven is calling and our faith, as big as a mustard seed, will make our world again abundant and beautiful. Thought provoking poem, a joy to read.
Many thanks Hans. Let's keep watering that mustard seed, if that's what people do!
Questioning the rationale behind mindless violence and countless crimes is legitimate. Likewise, the words expressed towards the end are very appealing. Thanks a lot. The home of God / In all its splendour. Heaven is in us / Somewhere.

War is a necessary evil in our times when we are faced with the threat of domination and annihilation from an ideology that does not recognize man's basic right to free will. Your piece is very timely and relevant.
