Through Love and Kindness

 
We humans tend to think highly of ourselves  
By saying we were made in God’s image  
We think we’re intelligent beings when in fact  
I believe we may still be a primitive race  
 
God is something beyond our comprehension  
The universe, all inclusive living inside of us  
We are stardust, part of that original creation  
Bound not to a physical body  
But to mind and soul  
 
The teachings from the Good Book  
Are simplified so that we can understand  
After all, what’s a day to a God than to a man?  
 
Muhammed, Christ, Confucius  
And other prophets who walked this earth  
Were enlightened enough to know  
That there is a greater conscience  
Heaven
Paradise
And the path to achieving it  
Is through love and kindness  
 
I may call myself a Christian  
But I know religion won’t save my soul  
If I practice what J.C. said  
Then perhaps I have a better chance  
 
Maybe picturing a bearded man in a throne  
With lightening bolts coming out of his hands  
Works for some  
Who knows  
I don’t imagine it  
I rather feel God and the Universe in my heart  
Knowing I’ve been kind
