The Voice of God

Put down your bibles, or whatever writings or teachings you have learned, or not,

And just listen, He will speak to you, He will move you, in ways never dreamed of,

In ways never thought of, you will fly to places in mind you never have been,

I know, because He has spoken to me many many times,

He told me that every time I look at any human face I am looking at part of His,

Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, it doesn't matter what your belief or leaning,

He said we are all His children, and that He loves all of us equally, no favorites,

He told me not to hold my mind hostage to one singular frozen way of thinking,

That this stagnation of thought is reason for separation of all His children on Earth,

And we are all brothers and sisters, all part of a worldwide family,

He said His creation gift to us all of free will has worked for good, yet also evil,

That we were meant to love each other and protect each other from any harm,

Problem is that complete freedom of thought has lead to prejudice, greed, and hatred,

He told me that there was one thing He gave us that would eventually bring us all together,

LOVE !

Yeah I do wish for love to bring all humans together in peace but with selfish imperialistic wishes that seems all the more utopian every day. And whenever we wish people to think differently or be without religion we form yet another group which agrees with it removing those that do not. This poem was written wonderfully with compassion. Kudos. Pls do review my latest poem too.
