Picture yourself as me,
and I will picture myself as you,
To discover all hate is illusions,
For the spirit behind your words IS true,
You dont need these material things,
All that matters is your love for me,
And my love for you is all I want,
Not status, not money, not power, I'm free!
For love itself, the greatest power of all,
Not to be used against each other,
I couldn't care less if you are better than me!
You are not! We are EQUAL in love and life,
Though sometimes you think I may think otherwise,
That I tower above you in spiritual strengh,
I dont friend, I dont! I HATE thinking that way!
Just open your eyes, as I am am trying to do,
To see that I'm not much different from you,
One body, one spirit, one love for each other,
Together, let's storm this dark temple of pride,
Storm the darkness, comrades!!
And use hate to destroy hate,
Not love to destroy love.
This castle of egotism will fall one day,
To the wonderous war cry of the Lord.
For Love is God,
Love is WAR,
And Love is what this life IS for.
Ignore those addictions, convictions, derelictions,
Ignore all of your physical limitations,
And mental limitations the same,
Unproductive it is to focus on them,
ILLUSIONS THEY ALL ARE I SAY!!!
In this ever-more difficult test of mortal life,
The darkness will NEVER truly prevail,
For we are all going to Heaven,
If all of us see it this way,
Spread the good word, my comrades,
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.

Interesting rant and rave. But I have to disagree with you on some things. Love doesn't destroy, and Hate does not end hate, and does nothing to help heal.

'And use hate to destroy hate,
Not love to destroy love.'

And as for this, it sounds as if you want everyone to think, feel, be, do, as "One" mindset, as long as the "Oneness" is from your POV, and the pray in the same manner. And many do not believe in Heaven or Hell, and yet they are peaceful, kind, gentle humans.  

'For we are all going to Heaven,
If all of us see it this way,
Spread the good word, my comrades,
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER'

And while the last line may ring of truth, we may not be praying for the same things.

Midnitesun...i appreciate your reply, thanks for the constructive criticism...
My big brother has trouble believing in the concept of heaven and hell as well..as i may sometimes do as well.. perhaps there isnt a hell, perhaps there is...i dont think anyone could explain.
Another thing.. Love DOES destroy!!!!!
It destroys HATE! How can you tell me like you know or something?!?!
Hey man, I'm willing to bet that me and you have more in common than you think.. im sure its a troubling thought at first for MANY people, but in the end, we are all human beings, right? And we had to have been created by someONE... right???
or am i wrong?!?!?!
I hope im not insulting or troubling you in anyway
