It is our faith that keeps us going
In the unique prayers we say to ourselves
In the believe of getting God’s blessings
In the tears of our faith
Lies the humanity of our reasoning

For our souls see no difference
In the color of our exterior
The sex that a shell forms to
The religion that some adhere to
Let us preach the body language
That lies within our own feelings
Of inner inspirations
In the spirituality of getting along

Oh God, I pray that those that preach
Using your words and not those of hate
For the world is a place of diversity
In the billions that reside in it
God never meant to clone humanity
And imprisoned the state of mind

So those religions that exclude any other
Take half the population
By putting different rules on them
Or any going to war for their believes
Are they teaching His love of humanity?
Or are they trying to make
The final judgment

Pray from within yourself
In the purity of your believes
In your imperfections
For you a God’s child
Send here on a mission
To first redeem yourself
And cry for the rest of the world
To change in the peace of His words
Shaking hands in diversity

Note: This was written for a man sharing my last name who is so diverse as to be different sharing a heart of gold for humanity. His name is Harold, who I hardly know, but who I can feel, shares the power.

It's so good to know that we are not alone in our beliefs, isn't it?! I only wish there were more people out there with such open minds that they could see the good in each religion or belief and not make judgements. I could expound on my personal therorys which seem very similar to your own, but I'm afraid this is just not the place to do it. Suffice it to say that I can "feel" you, and I am proud to call you friend.
Peace,love,light and happiness
Tammy
