Notes About The Poem

I had recently been brought to read a deplorable, well attempt, anyways, at I guess writing, whereby the person declared devils fill churches, the rhetoric and generalizations that seem prevalent these days, do not make them any less correct. I will say this, there are many paths one can choose in life to do good, and whether that be your religion, your beliefs, religious or atheist, however you choose to do good to your fellow man is ok by me. Judge not the path to goodness, only that one does good, nor condom a path, because someone falls from it.

Devils Fill Churches

Devils Fill Churches


Say the ones from outside
I, on the other hand find sanctuary
From liberals who tell me how I must think
I only wish peace, good will and a wee bit of gods drink
I open my arms
I hug the entire world
I know there is evil and I know there is good
The paths are many, and I love those who see
Is not the path, but the destination and the destiny

I know I am human
I know I have sinned
I know that we all are made up of same universal cloth
I know, I know nothing, nothing at all
Other than kindness and to love others big or small
Like brothers and sisters together we stand tall

I am humbled when I see the poorest of humanity
Offer me comfort and his only blanket
I may not know what is up there in the stars
I know that kindness is never wrong here or on Mars

I love science and knowledge
I love the diversity of life
Yet some call me evil without ever knowing
The inner beauty in us all, that in the dusk of the evenings
You can see nature’s gifts and the universe still dreaming
Faith you see in not about gods calling
Faith is about the goodness of all of us collectively
Humanity

From sea to see
