A POEM FOR RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN OUR WORLD!


" TO LORRAINE "
( A POEM INSPIRED BY UNSADDLED YIGAL'S STATEMENTS
CONCERNING RELIGION )



Must we argue which church is greater than the world?
Should you say that the Qur'an is not GOD's Word?
Faith is like justice; it can see in the dark.
Faith can bark, that is if you make it bark.
Religion? I see it as a device:
A lamp that can guide a human to be wise;
A sparkling guide towards personal salvation
In a world that needs illumination.


Should a human worship the device as the DEITY?
A human can use the device to worship the DEITY.
The worth of the device is rightly measured
In the ways and means that it can be used.
Faith treats a human being in a manner
Or in a way that a human is treating her.
Religion? Yes, faith can really make it work righteously,
Only if a human uses her or his religion properly.
