Too Good To Be Real

Heaven is a place where everything is direct,
there are no weapons or displacement activities.
There is no advertising; hopes are met
through needs being recognized as mutual,
rather than deferred and then multiplied
into wants that prove impossible to meet.
In Heaven there is neither debt or marriage,
just as there is no ownership or hunger.

Heaven is the perpetual motion machine,
where we imagine zero waste
being sustained by Absolute Grace.

In this life the above qualities
are known in full by very few.
Though many experience
the tiniest splinters of Heaven
in the midst of every day dis-grace.

What ever our faith, or lack of it,
Heaven is how we see really living.

Paradoxically the more that more of us
try to live out such impossible infinities,
where the whole feels like more
than the sum of it's (unknown) parts,
through finite planetary resources,
then the more we cut off future peoples
hope of a similar life. Best ask for less
if we want the future to be a sustainable.
