Mindful

Who be you? To decide who is 
worthy?
Who is to be chosen by the master?
Who shall ascend to the halls of 
purity?
Who says that only your faith is 
worthy?
Who gave man the power to chose?
Are there not many good folks 
aplenty?
Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, 
Scientologist?
Are there not good of heart among 
all?
Christian soldiers above Buddhist 
monks?
Who is right and who is wrong this 
day?
All have scrolls that men did write!
But where is the scroll with God's 
signature?
His verses are written in the heart!
God writes verses daily in the minds 
of men!
Not on paper, but in your thoughts!
His is the voice that implores you to 
right!
His is the nagging voice when you 
do wrong!
Worship in your hallowed temples 
cheerily!
But disparage not he who worships 
in his mind!
For God hears all prayers no matter 
the source!
Rich or poor....we are all his children!
He makes no distinction between 
faith!
For in your heart he resides and sees 
all!
His Love knows no barriers of faith!
His love sets none apart, be of good 
cheer!
God sees the heart and that is the 
final say!
