Harmony

It always pays to listen 
before making judgments 
we can't change. 
Never be guided by fools 
who think they are wise 
they'll only lead you astray. 

If something doesn't feel right 
and In our heart 
we know it's wrong 
Follow the path of righteousness 
for we cannot change things 
once they have gone. 

Live your life in harmony 
side by side 
with your fellow man. 
For in this life 
we're all one big family 
living together the way God planned.

My opinion: one must never judge. To give an example: Is Marilyn in hell? We must never judge. Only God judges.

I would suggest that mankind is living according to the Devil's plan, more divided than ever. But there is a global brotherhood that exists on earth. It will survive into a new world order just ahead.

Hi Tom, I do believe we're living in hell, if there is a heaven, it's how we deal with this life, that will decide who goes there.
