David Roth – Heaven on Earth | |
The scene was one morning, about 10 AM, 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 |
