Let Heaven Wait Poem by Joseph Anderson

Let Heaven Wait

Rating: 5.0


My fellow man, let me address
A confused world in deep distress;
'Tis rife with greed, graft, fear and hate,
As sinners search for Heavens gate.

A world caught in the bitter throes
Of things long past and future woes;
Those streets of gold will not be found,
'Midst turmoil marching all around.

We all should seek, for you, for me
A world freed from such misery;
A world where peace and love resides
And fellowship with men abides.

Our much sought Gods must surely see
The depths of our depravity;
Should we be seeking Heavens gate?
I rest my case, let Heaven wait.

I find this very beautiful, Joseph. It underlines a philosophy in life, a question at the sight of misery, and a declaration of hope through the image of heaven. Thanks for writing this.

We have been acting poorly and we can never control the twenty nine percent that manage to pull a fast one no w and then but it is good entertainment.

Seeking the the divine solace is man`s hypocrisy and the assumptions on the delayed justice in waiting have ever been derailing human efforts of concrete pattern. A righteous man needs no gate to be opened either. He will be air drifted to the Heavens that be...
