One day, life will leave my battered carcass.
One day, I will no longer belong to this rotten world.
Today, my suicidal urges mock Death with laughter.
I waste the breath of life that my universal force gave me freely.
I came from the darkness, and I shall end in the furnaces of my own destruction.
Doing good is a duty, to soothe the wrath of the Creator.
I will end in the flames of my own hell.
Like all those innocent souls, I too have suffered.
I know every face of death.
I have worn every mask of misery.
I am but an ignorant man, aware of his ignorance,
Thirsty for knowledge like the builders of the pyramids.
I chose to laugh so my demons would remain silent.
Since I learned to walk, my tears have dried.
I stand for truth, justice, liberty, equality, and righteousness.
I believe fraternity is an absurd notion, drenched in hypocrisy.
I hate the racists who preached humanism and universalism
Only to sanctify racialism and supremacism.
Universal Love
Love, what kind of? Best is the forever love
Love is an illusion, not a matter of existence
Like the autumn tree leaf, dead summer life
Where is the universal love? Let us get it on
I need it, no more fear, and no more panic
Endless happiness and life, let us our love
Universal love, love of universalism, a galaxy
Where is the galaxy of love? Where is it?
‘Everywhere. Just open your mind.’ Said Satan.
‘All the worlds are yours.’ Said Lucifer.
‘Just follow the path of the universe.
You will find your dream.’ Said Satan.
Islam is monotheistic Abrahamic religion that originated in Saudi Arabia in the 7th century CE. A Muslim is an adherent of Islam.There are over 1.8 billion Muslims — a quarter of the world's population, making Islam the second-largest religion in the world. It is also the fastest-growing major religion in the world.
Muslims accept Muhammad as the final prophet of God and the Quran as the final revelation of God to mankind. Non-Muslim do not accept Muhammad as a prophet or the final prophet of God and they don't accept the Quran to be a revelation from God or to be the final revelation from God to mankind.
Islam is a religion of universalism, tolerance, peace, and reconciliation. Islam teaches that life is sacred and that the believer has a duty to uphold truth and justice. Social justice is the core principle of Islam.

Unitarian Universalism
feels as old as Taoism
governs as old as conscientious breathing
Yang strength in
and Yin flow out
smells as fresh as spacious time
in Here
and out Now.
UUs, like Taoists
and Buddhists
and JudeoChristians,
and Hindus,
and Jains,
and some Agnostics and Atheists,...
"affirm and promote respect
for the interdependent web of all existence
of which we are a part."
We do not affirm
or promote
or even breathe
respect for autonomous walls
against all multicultural life
in which we spin timeless solidarity.
Acts of contrition, on knees if I recount
Beatitudes, eight, sermon on the mount
Charity given, is blessings received
Dalai Lama, a Buddhist deity
Ecumenism, it understands and unites
Fascism erodes individual rights
Gaia, Greek goddess of our mother earth
Heresy, one's belief, another's mirth
Idolatry, the worship of false gods
Jehovahs Witnesses, the sidewalks they trod
Kama, Hindu god of the erotic
Lex talionis, is somewhat exotic
Mary, Christmas holds that she was a virgin
Naturalism, this belief seems to burgeon
Orthodoxy, keeping with old traditions
Penance, requires sin and admissions
Quaker, informal for Society of Friends
Ramadan, are you relieved when it ends?
Sabbath, is it Saturday or the day after?
Talismans, sometimes, subject of laughter
Universalism, bring us together?
Values the thought of happy ever afters
Whatever your dogma, does it really matter?
X amine your heart, reject idle chatter
You should maybe contact your Spirit Guides
Zenith of acceptance with us resides

Encrypted liturgies time-honoured fascinations....
Aside these contiguous rivers of resoundings ~
Tintinnabulating endemics adorned amid the amulets of
Unilaterals ornate tidings enchanting chimes
If one so seeks to find....
This paean charm beyond their own eyes then
Whom can truly say until all has been told?!
Pacifism; universalism; factions; subcultures; dissensions towards
A sunflowers hopeful dreams thus held amid these
Softened petals of such fragrant love ~
Betwixt the ever present shadows wherein, they grow....
Realms casting senses and, who is wrong and who is right!?
