Heaven, God's blissful home in the sky.

Streets of gold paved for his children,

like the red carpet is rolled out for

HollyWood super stars.

 

Angelic voices sing from the Heavenly Choir,

"Praise To The Lord Our Holy God."

The sound is so enchanting silence falls.

 

Sadden vacancy of emotions.

Tears of pain will not fall.

We will be one big happy family.

Peace will finally reign.

 

Jesus The Son Of God is our night and shining armour.

He paved the road to victory.

Heaven's foundation is everlasting.

 

Sin is an infectious disease that affects us all.

Murder

   Lies

  Stealing

Greed

Addiction

Abusiveness

Cheating

The list goes on, there is no small sin

in God's eyes.

Jesus is the medicene we all need to receive.

He will rescue the perishing.

Chords that bind us to hell will break loose.

 

Salvation is the answer, it's a one way

ticket to Heaven, a gift that cannot be bought

in stores, it is free.

Jesus paid the price for YOU and ME!

 

The directions to salvation is simple as ABC,

there is no twist-n-turns.

A---Admit to God you are a sinner. Repent, turning

away from your sins.

B---Believe that Jesus is God's Son and accept God's gift of forgiveness from your sins.

C---Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior

and Lord.

 

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

I favor your poems of sex.
"Heaven, God's blissful home in the sky./Streets of gold paved for his children,/like the red carpet is rolled out for/HollyWood super stars."
This shows us how the strive for material possessions, through modernism, has infected religion. You compare life in heaven to life as a celebrity. Both are your dreams-- a fancy of your hopeful conscience.
"....our night and..." our knight in shining...* (sp error)
"....there is not no small sin..." there is not a small sin* (Double negative)
It's funny how you say that no sin is small in the eyes of God, but the way to relieving yourself of this 'sin' is as "simple as ABC". It's almost a paradox, no?
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,..."
This is a very familiar song in America. In fact, it's almost renowned as the national anthem. You make a good point to show us that America, the corrupt, war hungry democracy of shoats, was built (and is still structured) on Christian principles.
Now, I'm just taking this from your piece, but it seems like there is a surplus of flaws within Christianity. Perhaps your local preacher would like to do some editing with your son next Saturday? I'm sure he has a variety of topics to touch on.
By the way, the only imagery was in the beginning so the rest was dry. Perhaps you could try to convey this in a more poetic way?
Keep writing.

the thoughts of Heaven are as simplistic as they are soothing...it is the grace of God and the salvation of knowing His Son that will bring peace and love to this world...nice write

[Demetri J]

Amazing imagery! Really impressive, and even I enjoyed it, being the atheist cynic that I am. And great choice of ending it. Overall a great job, keep it up.

Was this a kind of parody of a deep south preacher's pitch? It had a jolly pace to it and seemed like an invitation to roll up and taste the water of salvation...

I notice you invited me to read it. I am grateful you want to save me... It may be too late in my case...

The only thing I can be consoled with is that the other place, where I may end up, is hot...
