Heavens are not too far

Heavens are not too far my dear
They are very closer to your eyes
Dark is not permanent and grieves too
Light a candle to vanish your dark and
Smile and laugh to conquer your grieves
Is lying in bed a solution?
To your hunger and starving
No dear just open your eyes and
Rise from your bed to kick your poverty
Close your hands and work
To lift yourself and this earth
Luxuries are very near and
Millions and trillions are waiting for your arrival
Crowns and countries are waiting adorn you
Just rise your shoulders and thoughts
Enough! That is enough to have above all

Heavens are not too far

Sakkkkkkk, I am once again amazed! You have written something so different than your normal stuff. I am so pleased at your different path, you are on to something here! My first thought was to try and turn a couple of your lines a little bit so that they made better sense, but after reading a second time, decided that it was best the way it was. I like your title and thought that the poem was consistant all the way through. The theme was also very good. If I am not mistaken, you have said that a country and/or lover can rise up above their poverty and with a little hard work, bring richness to their lives. Very good work, Sakkkkkkk! Yours respectfully, Gee.
