I choose no religion,
Unlike you the legion,
I do not know which is right,
That is why I have to write,
God is not a Muslim,
Neither does he subscribe to Judaism,
I do not know much about deists,
But I know something good about jainists,
I will never be an atheist,
I'll rather be an agnotist,
I do not pledge to any of these,
I'm certain God is not concerned with this,
The day of reckoning is about to come,
Call me to yours and I will come,
I do not know hows it's going to be,
Something will happen to the human being
I have heard much in Christianity,
They advocate spirituality and purity,
Some of them do not drink in the open,
But they sing and dance to the gospel,

Listening And Loving
By Curtis Johnson
There are some who proclaim themselves to be deists
And acknowledge I do exist, but assume no responsibility
There are those who say they are atheists
And claim that I do not exist
There are others who are agnostics
And claim there’s no way they can know
But to those who believe in me, but stand afar
As you ponder what I think, ask me if you dare
Pause and come to me, and see that I really do care
Many think that I am a mystery; others stand and stare
Those who heartily believe, and love up close, are rare
Of your love and your desire for me, I am aware
I am always watching you, just waiting to share
Your fears and your pain, I do want to bare
Do not think that I am far, and somewhere way up there
You need not think that I am just floating out there in the air
O my child, I even know the color and the texture of your hair
I am hope; I am peace; I am love; and I am fair
O come to me; trust in me; and say a simple prayer
O dear one, I am here; I am there; I am listening; I am God
