My 'religion of peace'
I look back into the course of human history
and see hundreds of millions
of people dead,
many more than that suffering,
and many more than that deluded
by this so-called "GOD":
be it the "God of Abraham"
or "Allah".
I look into the present state of humanity
and see hundreds of millions
of people suffering,
many more than that ill,
and many more than that still deluded
by this so-called "GOD":
be it the "God of Abraham"
or "Allah".
I ask what is common through-out all of this?
I see...

If you play along:
along you live -
(as long as you live to)
live to dance the
dance of life.
...to join the dance.)

Q&A #2: What is the question?
What is the 'question'?
...to be; or, not to be.
How is this a problem?
...choice: what does one live (and/or) die for?
What does one 'live' for?
...whatever one lives 'for'.
What does one 'die' for?
...whatever one dies 'for'.
Is there a difference?
...life and death...
...to be; or, not to be...

For whoso would deny themselves?

The Three Stars of Orion's' Belt
The truth,
the way,
and the life,
of the three stars of Orion's' belt.
The three
Pyramids of Egypt
are aligned
to the three stars
of Orion's' belt:
the 'G' Father pyramid;
the 'O' sun pyramid;
the 'D' holy spirit pyramid.
GOD did breathe
the holy spirit
into man;
man did see
the sun
in the sky;
sky did move
in relation
to man...
...that he may see
the one ...

The Parable of Christ
There are two kinds
of people in the world:
they who serve a kingdom without
- they who follow a christ without -
and they who seek the kingdom within;
- they who find the christ within -
one is true, one is false.
Who do "they" say,
then, is this
"Jesus the Christ"?
They say he's a man
who died on the cross;
as God in the flesh
- to absolve all sins -
for all mankind.
This "Jesus the Christ"...
of people in the world:
they who serve a kingdom without
- they who follow a christ without -
and they who seek the kingdom within;
- they who find the christ within -
one is true, one is false.

Mind of Mine
What mind are you,
oh mind of mine?
That you might dance
upon decline.
That you might knock
upon the doors
of water and oil's
asylum shores.
That you might seek
a warm embrace
at ghostly embers'
fire place.
I pray thee mind -
oh mind of mine -
pay me the truth:
what mind are you?
oh mind of mine?
That you might dance
upon decline.
That you might knock
upon the doors
of water and oil's
asylum shores.
That you might seek
a warm embrace
at ghostly embers'
fire place.
I pray thee mind -
oh mind of mine -
pay me the truth:

If Not For Bread
If not for bread, then what of a crumb?
It needs the bread from which to come.
If not for feather, then what of a fowl?
It needs the feather to flee the prowl.
If not for mother, then what of kin?
We need fair mother to settle din.
And if not for flower, grass and seed
then what of the bird, cow and bee?
And if not for the lakes, rivers and streams
then what of the fish, clouds and breeze?
And if not for the sun nursing the trees
then what of the air around us we breathe?
So then, if not for us, what of what, then?
...

It All
I met a woman;
she was a Muslim.
She was forced to lie
at the age of six -
was forced to marry
the husband that beat her -
I thought of Muhammad.
She finally fled
to escape it all
and married an infidel -
a non-Muslim.
With a pure heart
she took to him:
helped ease his pain,
helped heal his liver,
helped raise his son -
I thought of Jesus.
Her father disowned her
for leaving the house
and for leaving Islam;
he told her she was
"dead" to him -
I thought of...
