THE GATE TO PARADISE

                      

So it was

That with the eviction from paradise

Came along so many other evictions

Everybody wanted to evict somebody

Somebody could not be saved.

They had forgotten

That satan too

Was still a son of God

And the criminal, the vagrant,

The errant, the deviant

Whatever you called him

Could have also come to earth

To serve a purpose

And the day when

The eviction from paradise was to be revoked

Then god would swing the gates of paradise

Wide open

And the gate to hell

Would be shut for ever.
