Short Faiths Poems

spewing semantics
most of us try to speak
at each other
wonder if we debate faiths
when we're all telepathic...

Many faiths,
one hope

Many questions,
one plea

Many voices,
one vow

Many wishes
—one dream

Words in mascara of faces in faiths
Not what I telling you
But the tones of words in tacks of minds
As absorbed is this
that the hate of eyes
Within hidden in hearts
Applied in masks
This haunting
And howls...

You won't be able 
to dance
    unless you've 
inherited the legacy 
    of Middle Earth
Sam and Rosie make 
a nice couple - 
   don't they
AS IT IS SAID
     the three faiths 
which follow Abraham
           must be studied 
carefully 
    if one is to acheive 
mastery...

How many goodbyes
Can fit in a lifetime
How many good lies
Can make it seem alright?

Questions asked constantly
No answers ever given
How much death does it take
To forget about the living?

Hopes been slowly forgotten
Faiths slipping away
Sad masked by happiness 
To get you through the day....

The scales read a  destiny .
 Couldn't infer if it assembled wreckage.

Living is dying.
Love is still assaulted in those wooden beds

Ecstasy emanates from  grotesque faiths.
They define and lie .
Revere the paradox and feed the lust
nothing exist ..
Ahead lies everything in shambles....

eap-LOVE

The Father shows love:

in the heavens above

and the microbes below…man…turtledove 

by the witness of the pure white dove

in the warmth of faiths’ glove

The Dreams… 
That human beings pursue Freedom and Happiness
That men share all of Mother Nature’s resources
That all religions and faiths practice Compassion
That land and sea disregard the boundaries
That men’s skins recoat in the Blue Earth’s color
That we can tell alien visitors: We are Earthman!

A poem is not an effort by a tight-lipped genius
Gripped by the setting failure's fears,
Or the penning of those furious about defeat,
Who are not under the grip of it;
It's the flower of a gracious soul unseen,
An idyllic utopia that has never been; 
The splendor of a life unperceived,
And the thought of faiths unbelieved!...

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...

Varied hues of skin
A spectrum of shapes
Superficial beauteous forms
Cultures diversely similar
Divergent faiths bound by belief
Tribes tied to global nations
Ancestrally inherited customs
Trades, professions sundry 
Outer multitudinous variations
Inner indisputable DNA equality
Similarities in differences:
One rock – home to All....

Your religion
is not so different
Than mine. 

While ghosts 
Reveal themselves
to you, so do your
posters. I will not 
Hang them on my wall. 

Am I ashamed
to believe in other
things than you? 

Certainty is not
nearly close to the 
Complicated equation
of our respected faiths. 

Let us march to 
the Church now, 
and parade around
like it was easy....

Sodom and Gomorrah
their tale retold
Ignoring scripture
the world grown cold
Semitic factions
that seek and kill
Their hate on fire
their rage instills

Sodom and Gomorrah
two faiths subscribe
The Quran and Bible
their fate describes
Brother kills brother
the hour late
“Vengeance Is Mine”
—damnations fate

Come you, our brothers of all faiths, come

For

To equally share with us the heavenly love 

That

Newborn Jesus has brought with him

So

Peace, at last, to reign in the world and in our hearts

For

The good of humanity and the glory of God

From

This moment on and as long as we exist!

A-im at the true religion, 
N-ot all belong to Christ; 
N-ot all uphold the truth, other faiths are lies. 

B-elieve and join the true Church, 
E-vade the wrong ways; 
Q-uest for the right path, 
U-ntil you receive the Father's grace. 
I-n the morn of June sixteenth, 
L-ight is above the horizon; 
L-isten to the pristine gospel, 
A-im at the true religion....

On Conflict of Faiths

Why at all faiths clash, all across,
‘cause faith is a path. Paths do cross.
Paths that lead to PEACE.

All paths but spell distance and time,
But you  are yourself Peace Sublime,
Feel  it. Faiths’ roles cease.

Agnostic me the Atheist –
the devil’s advocate.
No worship, church or being blessed;
No feeling for religious hate.

Bombarded by the hands of God,
for vacuum must be filled,
so every faith does seek my nod
to have their oath instilled.

But God and Godless are not foes
that snarl across the land.
It is two faiths where hatred grows
beyond a line drawn in the sand....

Pride please go in my pocket. Faiths come out and play. Love don’t hate. Real don’t behave fake. Peace don’t bring me war. Pleasure doesn’t bring me pain.  Being rich can’t make me poor. Struggling for something can make you grateful for nothing. Open don’t lock me out. Thought has frequency like sound, but deaf cannot make me hear. Passion doesn’t bring emotion. Thought cannot bring me vision....

From the far east there is a messenger 
Of God that will carry out His command, 
Mountains of false faiths he will encounter 
For all his countrymen to understand, 
Through the power of the Lord's helping hand. 
He will overcome the persecution, 
As well as trials and tribulation, 
He will glorify the Almighty's name, 
He will be known for his dedication 
In preaching the gospel not for his fame....

Eight burning candles
A few of the old tunes
Our hopes remain something 
We can almost taste on 
our tongues
There are of course, many, many other faiths
But the shining lights create memories 
An leave something in our hearts
Which has lived on 
For thousands of years
The enemy defeated 
We shall savor 
Victory snatched from defeat
Light shining on 
In spite of the oncoming 
of another, savage winter

Looking out of my hotel window
I see a blanket of white
as snow comes down from the sky
    The Holy City of King David 
grinds to a halt
Winds are blowing as 
Shabbat comes in
The city reels from the bad weather
Yet I take comfort in the fact
that I have made it to Jerusalem
The holy city of the 
Abrahamic faiths
I hope to see more of this ageless city
before I head home to the fabled Lower East Side
where I make my home...

We need to be open minded
Not being one will close our steps
our steps to sensitivity.

We are multicultural region
some eat halal some don't
but respect is here.

Different dishes need to be served
that of halal and others
Airlines need to it.

We respect faiths and beliefs
we tolerate and we accept
Still many are not sensitive.


I love you peace. Let's sail together. Layag Sug!

Not Wholly as it should be

O holy city set in gold
 of thee both praise and woe are told.
 To three faiths the troubled home,
 we see the spire, the Wall. the Dome.
 Where once did graze the kid and lamb
 I behold a traffic jam.
 In Heaven's name, oh, tell us why
 property prices are sky-high.
 O  meeting point of East and West,
 O thou at once most cursed and blessed,
 show less of your worst
 and more of your best....

MY POETRY

             My emotive urge surges
             My muse to amuse
             My thirst drinks desire
             My passion seeks afflatus
                   
            My faiths and feelings to dream              
            exploring poetry of life in full brim.
             Poetry is my creation
             cum recreation, simultaneous.
