To You Out There In the Shadows

I insist to 
all of you out 
   there in the darkness
Find your spiritual home 
   Islam, Judaism 
Christianity and other faiths 
    are open to you 
   You must make your decisions 
       The years will fly by 
    and you will fade into shadow 
shortly 
    So get your act together - as soon as possible
before nightfall

Matt, I believe in God but do not want to belong to any particular religion. I once had a religion and they are mostly good people, but things change as we get older sometimes. Things I once believed about my religion I am not sure of any more. Anyway, I enjoy the message, which for me is to at least practice the religion of kindness.
