Do Not Make A Fiction Of Heaven, My Friend! Poem by Mohabeer Beeharry

Go on, for a handful of dollars
Burn it all
Conflagrate the woods
Sacrifice millions of helpless
Men and women
And animals!
Bring down towns and cities so patiently raised!

Heartless and shackled with greed,
You stand and survey your rampage,
Toast to your relentless pride and greed
On the blood of the helpless!

Feed you wife and children with food that has never been yours
Reap the harvest that others have sweated for,
Law is made to be broken
And abused,
An amazing time, this is!

We grill in a cauldron of ignorance.
How naive we are
To think that these ploys of heartless bloodshed
Will open the gates of heaven for us.
Heaven for you is what you make for others!
Remember!
