"A Human Paradise"

humanity has been blessed

with a beautiful world to

exist

we once had Eden in which

to live until we screwed that up

while we had sinned and thus

knew sin

we continued to sin

for what is right in God's Eyes

is ignored in order to do our will

not His

we have such opportunities

if we could destroy lust and greed

for power

we could use the money spent on war

and other greedy ventures

to create our own kind of Paradise

an Utopia where no one is hungry

or sick

where money is spent on humanity

not evil

we have the means to end hunger

to cure most diseases

to make this world a place where

love and justice rule

with hunger and disease gone

what other great and wonderful

things are we capable of?

we could create a Paradise of

human creation and hope

and love

let's do that
