Clothing is optional in Heaven...

...I can't wait till eternal life...


Poem Artwork

Nudity in different cultures is considered wrong,

Though in heaven bare assed naked is celebrated in song,

When God and the angels ring the big gong,

Clothes are shed to float away and flutter in the wind, totally gone…

 

In death enroute to our next waystation,

After our lives cessation,

We see friends and relatives all wearing only a carnation,

And we all just forget that nudity can be a flirtation…

 

So through our next life,

Little there do we stress & strife,

Our existence becomes quite full & rife,

I do so look forward to eternal life.

I'm afraid that I'm headed in the other direction, but on the other hand, I have nothing to hide!

I'm not sure Ed, the Bible says angels are clothed in white robes and so is Christ in Heaven. But if being free from clothing is heaven to you I hope it happens for you. I too look forward to eternal life. Well penned.

I am not a fan of clothing but, it is a tad too cold in fall, winter and spring. LOL! Love and peace,

As the participants in the reality show soon find out, nakedness is not the problem. To be naked requires a very tropical environment. While most animals are protected by fur or other natural garments. Humans require clothing to survive in a very narrow niche of climate that doesn't really exist on much of the planet.

In your poem you refer to a desire to be nude in "heaven." There are cultures on earth where nudity is not a big deal. Unfortunately, some cultures equate nudity with carnal activities that they are afraid of and therefore make laws and restrictions to nudity of any kind. I have to laugh and how stupid some of these restrictions are. But it's no laughing matter to women who must cover completely in the Muslim world just to survive their men dominated society.

I'm not waiting for heaven. I'd rather we accept nudity today more openly than we ever have.

For now on I will be thinking of naked relatives frolicking in heaven. I can't get this image out of my mind. Thanks.

Got it all figured out, Ed. Since I don't believe in heaven, your words are as god as anyone's.

Being naked in heaven,
might be a tad uncouth.
My shortcomings would be on display,
and that's the naked truth.
