The Religions That I See

Religion are words
 that have never
 ending meaning,
every word
 is taken and twisted.

Every form
 is taken and
 used for a 
human’s advantage.
Religion must be
 known as beauty 
and haven,
but known
 as force 
and confusion.

Who are we
 to say religion
 is for one 
when it can be for all.

We go to school
 to learn, 
we come home
 to show, and
 we leave
 to inspire.

Religion is a universe
where one should
 learn all religion
 to become one
 with their
 inner soul.

Who are we to
 judge and use
 religion as an
 advantage to demolish
 another human’s beliefs.

Knowing one religion 
won’t bring
 people together,
but bring 
hatred to
 one another.

For no one knows 
who’s right 
or wrong.
We must learn 
other religions
 in school for
 the light must
 have the loyalty
 to demolish the
 darkness in
 a human’s soul.

We can’t know religion
 without knowing each
 religion and
 it’s true nature.
We won’t know when
 the sun
 comes out 
if we dont look
 through the window.

We won’t know
 the true beauty 
of religion if 
we dont know 
religion and it’s stories.

How can we become 
one with religion
 like a bird
 becoming one
 with it’s wings,
 if we don’t know
 the history of
 each religion.

How can we call
 ourselves human,
 if we won’t 
accept ourselves
 to open up
 to other writings
like a historian
 searching to learn
 more stories 
of an artifact.

When we become
 part of all religions,
 we become
 a part 
of humanity.

Religion doesn’t
 separate us, 
but unite us as one.

One religion
 is there
 to support us,
other religions
 are there
 to inform us.

Forty Rules of Love

When I look at you something changes 
I feel the pain in me when all I know is one day you wont be here to catch me
When you fought for my rights but I backed down to keep the reputation of my family high 
No matter what I do I still come to you 
You have given me hope, happiness, and anything love 
I know I broke you, hurt you, but through that I fought for you, trying to change the eyes of my parents 
Maybe one day when I’m ready ill come for you 
I don’t expect you to wait for me
To hold me 
To change me 
But all I ever ask is to never stop loving me 
I have never felt the opening of love 
And the destruction of the gates closing 
I always thought we could go through this with the happiness of others  in the bottom of our shoes 
We always fought for love 
But it was never enough 
I’m sorry I hurt you 
I’m sorry I didn’t fight for you 
I hope you find someone who would love you the way you deserve to be loved 
When I am accepted by myself and my family 
I am yours no matter what 
I love you 
I am sorry 
Forgive me
