The New Earth
As sure as the coming of night and day. Heaven and earth will pass away. The stars will fade, and the sun, burn out. The moon will blur, the cloud will darken. The oceans and seas shall dry up. But love will remain, she will hover over the void, and create a new earth and heaven. New species of humanity. The human spirit shall be love. In that earth and heaven, heaven and earth will be one. Capitalism shall love communism, Islam and Christianity shall live as one. The Jew and Arab shall eat Passover together. There shall neither be white nor black. No races, only the human race, religion will not exist. Only spirituality crested on love. Love shall be the source of all energy. Darkness will no longer exist. For love will shine her light, on our paths. Materialism will not be, for ownership will not exist. But love will exist. There will be neither male nor female, neither gay nor straight, all sexuality shall be love. As everything else, love shall adorn all, and everyone shall be beautiful. Silver, gold, diamond and oil, will have no value. But love will be value. Love will be God, a universal feminine God. Compassionate and unambiguous. Her priesthood will not be an institution, all will be her priest. Her throne shall be in our hearts, lucid and approachable. No one would need to be taught Her law, the law of love, shall be written in our hearts, like a programme. There will be no hell. For no one will need to be evangelised There will be neither sickness nor death. Graves will not exist. Love will be the stability of our times. There will be no poor, no rich. Love will supply all needs. Angels will dwell amongst humans. The seed of humans shall mingle with that of angels, man and angels shall be one. Equal in strength and ability. Angels will be human, humans will be angels. In the new world created by love.
