Becoming the Messiah
I believe in Jesus
I believe in Buddha
I believe in Mohammed
—divinity shared
I believe in grace
I believe in epiphany
I believe in tomorrow
—the promise it bears
I believe in man’s ability
to rise above his nature
religion the jailer
—whose lies forestall
I believe that enlightenment
requires a commitment
to become the living embodiment
—of that One who calls
