Oh yes you will encounter

Even decades of listening

Doctrines, philosophies, religions & beliefs

All the lengthy monologues

About the beauty of their view

With a sense of pity for those

Who see a different hue

Despite a human search for truth

And the obvious nature of it being elusive

Some draw a distinction

As to the validity of sources of inspiration.

Some see the Christ Jesus

As God incarnate

Others have different ideas

Of the message from God

And who/what/where & how is God?

And, how would we, humans, ever know?

How would frail organisms

8 billion of us

Ever know the truth of creation?

How would we ever know

What occurs, if anything, after we die?

How would we know what a soul is?

Do we know what life is like

For those who believe in living a good life—

Honest, truthful, giving, humble & productive

Is reward enough in & of itself

With no consideration of an after-life?

Is it not presumptuous, arrogant & foolish

To think that some aspect of "you" is immortal

In any way, shape or form—

Much less the denomination of your particular God?

Sit quietly & reflect on the blessings of peace.
