 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

THE LINE TO HEAVEN IS GETTING CROWDED


Oh, not for the true believers
Angels walk them right through
Christians, Buddhists, Lutherans
Baptists,Muslims, Jews, all faiths
Those who just believe in God
It's not for me to make your choice
Nor would I stifle your voice
We are all Judged by our deeds
our faiths by a much higher court
Sure inside are different doors
and who is to say we bow to the same God?
For there is but one Godly image in our sight
Salvation is that that's good and that right
God forgives there no lines for Godliness
God has passed them as believers through
Angels taking a numbers for late conversions
Those who have some explaining to do
There's the line outside waiting for 72 virgins
Waiting even though allot of virgins go by
For they are avoiding entrance to the terrorist door.
Evil is the long line scarred by shame
Look at that--atheist door wide open
No long lines to there to have to wait
Atheist just walk in and disappear
Wonder where they go the door opens
and they leave face silence?
The drunks, the thieves, wife abusers--murderers
It's a elevator marked only one way going down
I suppose someone is waiting for them too
Oh--Oh--the tunnel is opening a new door posted
The Angels gathering at the door
What does that new posted sign read?
"Child abusers and serial killers need not apply!"
As they are led to the elevator going down
The line to get to Heaven is getting crowded
Hope there is room for just one more!
