Our God

Stop child of God
Before it’s too late!
Think well, before you act,
God is not mine
God is not yours
God is not his
God is not their
God is our.

When you insult his God
You insult ours
When you laugh at their God
You laugh at ours
When you burn my temple down
You burn ours.
I said what I thought is right
Go ahead, do what is right.

Our God

Stop child of God
Before it’s too late!
Think well, before you act,
God is not mine
God is not yours
God is not his
God is not their
God is our.

When you insult his God
You insult ours
When you laugh at their God
You laugh at ours
When you burn my temple down
You burn ours.
I said what I thought is right
Go ahead, do what is right.

If you

If you befriend me
And then stab me in my back
My heart is only stabbed
Your heart is vile.

If you flatter me
When we are face to face
Mock me in my back
I am naïve and you are cheap.

If you gain my trust
By pretending what you are not
And then shatter that faith
I am trusting you are cunning.

In no way can a person
Be a loser as long as
He is trusting and loving
The one who abuses him is the real loser.

Faith

Faith can bring down God to earth
suspicion can send him back
nothing is more nurturing than love
nothing is more toxic than mistrust.

A heart full of mistrust, hatred or
argument can push back a hand
full of love, warmth and peace,
held out with noblest intention.

The moment suspicion, mistrust lurks
love loses its glory, its sparkle..
peace loses its rhythm divine,
only the whirlwind of arguments swirl.

To live in peace think of peace
share it with every soul you know.
to live in love share love with all
you will meet God down below.
