I used to know the difference
between demon and angel
everything fit into its place.

Now I see angels in gutters
and demons singing in choir.

Death brings peace
while quietness brings suspison.

Love a hook for perverts
an insult for the true
there is always an "I"
and never a "you".

Where is truth
but lying in the tombs
of our fathers
mothers crying
for thier men have gone
to war
and not return.

When did it all happen?
When did angels grow horns?
or demons wear halos

Only when we stop
and return to the beginning
will we see where we went wrong.

And God said; "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth!

that's pretty much where things started that and whoever decided to make Ben Affleck a movie star..can anybody say 'block of wood'

Maybe, just maybe...that's where we went wrong as a species? That we even attempt to pigeon-hole humans into these two extremes, these self-limiting categories?

Thanks for the pondering post, Brad.

May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

(big hugggssssssssss) As much as I would love to hold respect for everyone in the world, I have no choice but to point out the liars in our world, the hypocrites, as only then so we identify those can we ever be safe again and know exactly who the angels are! (sad sigh) In the end, He will rule once again and Satan will be defeated, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Brad, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

Had to come back to this because I read it again and this came into my head written by
Jim Morrison - "Feast of Friends" :

"Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings on shoulders smooth as ravens claws . . . "
