Only Love Shall Live Forever

What shall we do
when the world wants what’s right,
but in their mouth is a shoe
cuz of all of the fight
that they do with each other
yes, their sisters and brothers.
Who’s really at war.
No one knows for sure.

And to all the disdain
and all those who feel pain
It’s too late for the cause
scars don’t heal from the claws
and the cuts and the daggers
left in backs as they stagger.

They give all their time
for their reason and rhyme.
Their whole life is like butter
on the knife
all that mutter,
for it melts all away
never to stay
as not even the clever
can live here forever.

Evolution of words
memorialized
by the books and the memories
of those most despised.
The films and war stories
of those in the past
the murdered and gloried
all dead are the cast.

For what shall live
for eternity
is only the love.
Let it be.

Revelation 21

A New Heaven and a New Earth

1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
