Searching at the airport Hari Krishna I became Shaved my head to the bone It never grew back the same Journeyed to the mountains Found Dali Lama there He smiled as he asked me What happened to all your hair? Buddha beckoned me next Thinking his wisdom is what I need So I wore the orange robes And increased my nightly feed The Baptists wanted to drown me The Catholics wanted my soul The Reformists took away my dance Said it would make me whole I tried to be an Amish chick Without the electricity when I wanted to surf the net They said it was an impossibility! So where do I find that inner peace Man has sought throughout all time Perhaps I’ll just look right here In my God-given verse and rhyme [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (edited 05-04-2000).] |

ROFL!!! Thank you for posting this one..methinks people take religion so seriously that they forget the inner spirituality. I really liked the reference to trying to surf the net sans electricity..too cute! And yeah, I must agree with your ending verse. Such is the outpouring of my soul...pen on paper.

It has been said that the answers that we seek lie within ourselves. . . that includes the talents and gifts that we have been given. . . Excellent deVine... ---------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sharon we needed some humor in here! Thanks! That inner peace can only be found in one place. Ya know people sometimes forget we were made in the image of God. God gave us emotions just like He has. Anger, hurt, laughter and most important, a sense of humor. I know He has one, heck he has to with all us humans.  <*\\\>< Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. |

This is great! A light touch that we all need and a chuckle too, with wisdom thrown in for good measure. Sounds like a good recipe to me! Great job! "The Kingdom of God is within you". So, why look any further. thanks, Ellie 02 |

Thank you all for you kind comments. I didn't want to offend anyone, just to bring a touch of my God-given humor to you. You know my favorite drawing of Jesus is the one where he is surrounded by children and he's laughing! There are many religions in the world, so I also want to say I hope no one who belongs to the religions I wrote about is offended. I believe we are all brothers and sisters...because we don't share the same belief makes no difference to me! I love you all... |

PoetdeVine~ Very comedically/spiritually done. A pretty neat map to where we all need to be on the road to our search. Enjoyed very much. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Poet Devine, This reminds me of the song, LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES--The lengths to which some will go(in the wrong direction) which is available to them all the time if they will just follow the Instruction Manual(God's Word--also known as the OWNER's MANUAL). Seek and ye shall find-But look in the right places too. Good one, David "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb) |

I personally think the search for a religion is really a search for love and acceptance. In the 70's when the cults were prevalent, people were drawn to them because they were looking for the love they felt they weren't getting elsewhere. I know God loved them, but they weren't ready to see it. If someone chooses a religion other than mine, finds peace, treats everyone with love and kindness...that's not a bad thing....thanks for your reply!! |
