Only Jesus?

What nonsense is the claim
that **only** Jesus can sustain a man
who’s burdened with hard times
and existential blows to his serenity.

Siddhartha’s justly famed
for his bestowing on mankind
the way one’s heart
can subjugate
and then eliminate its pains
and feel with joy the sangha’s blessed
fraternity.

And Muslims hold onto
and propagate, confess,  
with grateful and unceasing certainty,
good reasons, too,
the core belief
that  al-Salām’s
the only one who
surely brings men peace
for all eternity.

So why should anyone who reads
your apodictic, blinkered creed
believe that what you say
out of your pompous piety parochial
that’s founded on a prejudiced belief
is true?
