Religion of Love

Each religion has its own ideology Its own house of worship It has its own dialect, It is bounded by its own rites and rituals Its own drama and myth It has its own justice system Its distinct way of atonement Its own unique style, It is partial and onerous, It promises heaven in afterlife but creates living hell on earth. It demands total obedience, Total reverence It defers explanation It defies reasoning It professes eternal life and exacts strict wages; Each religion has its own interpretation of God Each has a special pathway to heaven Each designates dire caveat for hell. Love, on the other hand, is free, Free of all nuisances Free of all boundaries Free of all rites and rituals Free of all race and creed, It speaks with the eyes Listens with the heart, It only seeks soul mates, It is universal It encompasses all and excludes none. Love is but Love; Love just happens, There’s no beginning And once began there’s no ending. True Love is omnipotent It is omniscient It is omnipresent. ~Religion and/or Philosophy contest by Kai Michael Newmann
