Where Are We Now
Where are we now, I do not know
or how we came to be
a world of agony and pain
to feed the lust of few.
A hundred years of battles fought
with battle fodder slain
has only led to further wars
to glorify God's name.
I wonder if in death at last
when seeking promised land
if peace may fall on us at last
as led to understand?
Alas I fear that all the Gods
that in man's mind reside
will never find Utopia
while standing side by side.
Heaven and Hell and Purgatory
combine to form man’s way
and I suspect it matters not
in death this way will stay.
Like will always Like attract
in Life or Death or dream,
so maybe it is best to choose
the way that you should lean.
If Men and Gods could find a way
to stop inflicting pain
Eternity and Here and Now
would have a lot to gain!
