No..Heaven...No



I have never been to heaven
Nor would I aspire to be
Missing what I haven’t seen
Is not created in me
I have never possessed a wing
Nor would I pray now to have one
My feet are grounded just fine
As gravity is God’s design

I have never been loved by an angel
Nor would I desire for such passion
The earthling man takes me as high
No need to rapture to heaven
I have never tasted heavenly dish
Nor dine with the sons of God
My mouth watered just thinking
About the mangoes of this ground

I have never played with an angel
Not one of them shared a field with me
When I kicked the ball off the ground
The sons of men were cheering for me
I have never heard of a she angel
Nor would I dare ask why to God
When I put on the teakettle
I love an earthling female sound
I have never seen the face of God
Nor would I dare to crave
God said to Moses in exodus
No man may see him and yet live

All the doctrines are telling me
Heaven is a place to be
But wishing to float on the clouds
God did not create in me
All the doctrines are telling me
Heaven is a place to be
If that is eternity
Thank you Lord the Almighty
But earth please, swallow me
Earth please, just conceal me
