Notes About The Poem

A NOURISHING CANONICAL AWARENESS

 

You cannot love God,

Without loving your neighbor:

It’s canonical:-

And neither can you love God,

And not believe in yourself.

 

How can you love God,

And not all His creations?

Are we not all so?

How can you love God and hate

Others that He created?

 

You cannot sow hate,

And hope to be reaping peace,

In human nature:-

Human nature’s peace reaping,

Only comes from sowing love:-
