Short Shema Poems

Its just a thing
Everybody can claim
Some show it
Others don't
Its not bad
Its humane
Comes to and fro
Some beleive it should go
They musn't realize
Its here to stay
Like a stray
Until you
Confront it
Shema
Its a dominating thing
Nobody wants to claim...

You have failed to properly bury your dead.
Your heroes and martyrs lie instead 
In shallow graves and trenches
Where the stench of their decay 
Is overpowering.
As you walk towards your purpose,

There is a bench
Under the Tree of Life
...no meaning
There is a church
Ringing a bell, at the end
...no salvation
There is a dorm
Waiting to be filled
...no companion
There is a grand library
Angels take me to the high place
...no enemy
There is a book
Golden, connecting to my core
...no lies
LOVE stands to my left
Peace settles my soul
...no separation

TRUTH is heard....forever
