David roth heaven on earth

The scene was one morning

About 10am

In a conference room somewhere in space

One by one all the celestials dropped in until all of the host was in place

Refreshments were offered

Some white fluffy cake and a kettle of warm steamy milk

Everything served up on porcelain plates on a table of linen and silk

May I bring this meeting to order was heard and all turned to the head of the room

I welcome you all to this high level council

We've plenty of work to resume

A steno stood up with a pad in one hand and announced the agenda in rhyme

There's the matter of buckling orion's belt and of cleaning the milky way's grime

And someone's donated two huge pearly gates and they're stirring up quite the big fuss

For to make matters worse now

The salvation army has given the darn things to us

But firstly and foremost

This annual assembly has holy intention and worth

For we're gathered together to work out the plan for the placement of heaven on earth

A poet took the podium and offered a prayer where our vision falls short

May we see

May we do all we can to insure that all beings will be the blessed they can be

Two nurses continued by pleading for peace and for gentleness joan of arc beamed

And the good dr

Martin luther king jr

Said a prayer for all those who had dreamed

The floor is now open

The research committee will render their statements and notes

And when we've heard all the proposals then everyone makes their decision and votes

So one by one cherubs were stating their cases saying heaven should be here or there

Some lobbied for down in the deepest of oceans

Some argued for up in the air

But when all was concluded it was quite apparent that this was a point on which few could agree

'Twas no simple matter deciding just where this dominion of heaven should be

At last in the silence a small voice was heard from a humble and timorous man

My name's murray goldberg

I'm still on probation

But I think that I got a good plan

It seems I've been spending my lifetime alone in my search for my soul and my source

And I've shunned the distraction of my fellow beings for the fear that they'd throw me off course

But when I get together with one or more others there's nothing that feels so divine

To be in communion with sisters and brothers must surely be heaven's design

So how 'bout we scrap all the blueprints and plans and instead we install it by parts

And we put a large portion of heaven deep down in the corner of everyone's heart

Again there was silence

And then an explosion

Unanimous beating of wings and of legs

And the meeting had gone through the night to the dawn

So st

Benedict started some eggs

Harriet tubman went off for her train

St

Bernard went off walking his dog

I'm taking a couple of tablets says moses

While murray was simply agog

But from that moment forward the issue was passed

With a permanent home by decree

Where two or more beings are gathered in love

Here the realm of all heaven shall be
