OK, so now that we're in heaven together,
take off your wings and relax. As a matter of fact,
take off your halo, too. And whatever you do,
make sure that cloud you're sitting on belongs to you.
No wait! This is great! We can share the clouds,
like it was meant to be! Everything here belongs
to us all and it's all FREE!
No charge, no monies changing hands, no taxes!
So sit back, relax and kick off your shoes.
The good news is you won't need boots to wade
through the snow or the earthbound shit. Soon there will
be a parade! What a terrific place we've made.
And don't forget to visit the world every now and then.
Bring your quill, carry your pen. Tell them how poetry
can save their souls, how verses conversed can make them whole!
Tell those souls it's a viable religion, this poetic vision!
Show up incognito, ok? Might as well do it today.
Tell the people how poetry makes peace.
Tell the people how poetry makes love.
Will you please? Bring the message from above!
Heaven is waiting, it's in their hearts.
Conversations in verses are a valuable start.
Thank you for your work 'cause this is your fate.
(And please don't forget to bring the donation plate.)
