Blessed Be.

If I do not understand your god
and if I do not believe.
You preach to me of suffering
my conversion to achieve.

If I do not understand your god.
your god of grief and pain.
You preach to me of afterlife
and what I stand to gain.

If I do not understand your god
because I do not think like you.
You'll preach to me of mortal sin
and war with me till I do.

If I do not understand your god
you wont hear my reasons why
so secure are you in your faith,
That he's truth, and I am lie.

And yet my god is beautiful
made of water, earth and fire,
My god is in the air I breath,
in my passion and desire.

She is do as you would be done to,
and love as you would be loved,
she is everything that fits together
perfectly, hand in glove.

She is sun and snow and rainbow,
flower, tree and bird.
and in the breeze through autumn leaves,
her whisper can be heard.

Yet her whisper never preaches
your conversion to achieve
and she'd never harm a living soul,
just because he didn't beleive.

You do not understand my god,
And I forever defend your right,
For you having your god and I having mine ,
should never be reason to fight.

Blessed Be.

Very well said, Lorraine. For God is everywhere, in everything, and no matter what you call it, be it Allah, Yei, Mother Earth, The Great Healer, the Great Spirit, or anything else, each person deserves respect and freedom to walk the earth on his own pathway. And that goes for non-believers as well, who may not believe in any God, but who believe in love, compassion, justice and liberty.

Each person believes in their own God and their own religion.That's one thing that should be to each his own.we are not here to judge.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Ven, I know just how you feel, and I couldn't help but cry reading this to feel the pain and tears among people and respect to each others religions being tarnished. (sigh) I dream that someday we can all love each other and respect each others beliefs with cheer and reach to one another and love! (sigh) So sad but well-written, sweet friend, we all love you so very much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ven, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
