The Gift of Tolerance

Please hear us I pray.... Tolerance, this word is not used in the bible The closest I can find is to be non judgemental To accept those that are of a different faith A different skin colour, those that love their own kind So why so much fighting...... Tolerance, to tolerate the bigots That advise and command you, You that live in the real world, they left behind This is the gift I would bestow. Please hear us I pray.... Tolerance is advocated in the Koran So why isn't this being upheld I ask the leaders of the mosque Where is your tolerance to other faiths I suggest you re-read your holy book I beg you go hear us in prayer.... Hindus never claim that they are the 'chosen people'. They are brought up to accept others faiths To tolerate the beliefs not defile them To live in peace in their own way. So why so many wars.... Lord hear my prayer. To bestow on everybody the gift of tolerance. Penned by Seren Roberts on 29 August 2014
