They Each Came To Their God
They each approached their God in their own way…
some stood, some knelt…most of them bowed their heads…
“I come to you with a problem…I need your help!” they said.
Then as their Gods listened from their heavens or from atop their mountain peak
simultaneously from here on Earth each person began to speak…
From all corners of the planet…their appeals were the same
“There is so much hate in the world,” they said…
and they were quick to place the blame…
(Here is where each person’s story gets a little odd)
for they put the blame not on themselves…
but on the other people and their Gods.
Each God listened intently from their place up in the sky
and after a moment or two of silence…each God began to cry.
“You have forgotten why you were put here.” Each God answered,
“I find it so bizarre…that you have forgotten your reason for living
you have forgotten who you are.”
“This is not a problem for me.” Each God continued.
“You know what you need to do…
or have you forgotten the power to fix this…
lies not with me…but you?”
“You speak to us of hate!,”
this was spoken in one combined voice booming from above…
“Come back to us,” the voice continued,
“when you can speak of love.”
