Dogmatic Doctrine

Can I kiss a Catholic or a Muslim or a Jew, A Buddhist or an Atheist, a Sikh or a Hindu? Can I share their faith with them and not condemn my soul, To eternal persecution in the Devil’s deepest hole? Can I offer love to those who are not always straight. Who’s love is shared with their own sex or either kind of mate? If so, am I a pervert who can’t pass through heaven’s gate, is it true that love can lead to hell as surely as can hate? Can I really lead a life rejecting all I find that meet the inner feelings that have formed within my mind? Is it true that I’ve no right to choose the things I want to do, but just accept I must conform to things that can’t be true? If this is so, I’ll tell you, then this life is really hell, the Devil’s won already we are bound within his spell. But I’m sure that God Almighty is around for All Mankind, whatever path we follow or whatever love we find. Ivor G Davies

No, I'm afraid I don't agree, though you're allowed your own worldview, just as I am allowed my own, I believe there is only one right path.

Extremely thought provoking. The best way to describe this write is: Ivor Davies, nobody does it better, better than all the rest. I love that song...and this poetry...so thanks...
