Ignorant Fools

I pity those who hawk their Faith
door to door, at every corner, to every crook;

Remember, a diamond is found
in the darkest of mines and yet
its brilliance pleases the soul of the finder,
The pure beauty of Lotus blooms
unstained by the muddy waters of its origin,
and yet adorns the deity of a temple.
	
O God, forgive them their ignorance
for they know not when
they take Thy name in vain!
