Babylonia : Part Four - a Babylonian Paradise

Babylonia : Part Four - A Babylonian Paradise Come in, come in, all are welcome! Welcome to Babylonia! Welcome home. Every animal is welcome here, You can be yourself; You have no need to fear. Babylonia has always and shall always be here. The place for all animals, when they wish to retire. Tired of the rat race? Need something better? Then Babylonia is for you friend, there is no place I’d rather Spend the rest of eternity in; I’d like to introduce you all to my wife and kids. I am Groat, the goat and we have very lush grass. Feel free to help yourself, to whatever you come across. The world is your oyster; your greed is your clam. This is paradise and you are all welcome. Jungle to your left, ocean to your right; Mountains beyond the valleys behind me. Open your eyes to your new paradise! Over a million trees and every day you will meet a new species. It isn’t kill or be killed, But I understand some of you have a need. So hunt your prey, Or raise a family. Live your lives, However you want them to be. You can see through the water on a sunny day; I love the smell And forget the pollution…This is Heaven, not Hell. Whatever you wish for is yours if you can find it my friends; But this Heaven is so large you shall never reach the end. Eternal life here in paradise; Generations of families sit together to talk at night. Let us all be one great family, Or let us all at least do as we please… Then we shall be free. The fruits of Eden’s vine are nothing compared to our fruit. The juiciest, tastiest, manna sent from Heaven. You are now all free to do whatever you choose. I am simply here to welcome you all in… My Friends; The Animals. (C)2013 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
