that in Spirituality
there is room for everyone,
no matter the god they serve,
nor how old or young.
Because we are all Spiritual
beings at the core
of this human cocoon
just waiting to emerge.

I like this idea.
I imagine instead of a top-down controlled world, a world where creative expression from the bottom-up reshapes social relations - and it would not be chaotic either as it would be an expression of deeper spiritual themes and principles which would self-organise into a new heaven and a new earth. Well, that's my hope and vision.
Given the principle of enantiodromia perhaps the current depressing lurch towards authoritarianism will suddenly flip into a genuinely new age -- I hope so. For me, it's that hope (or vision) that keeps open a door to authentic joy - although rarely experienced, one spark of joy keeps me going for weeks on end.

A truth with depth neatly expressed.
Non prescriptive Poetic suggestions:
1) the first line could be dispensed with, thereby the title to becomes the first line.
2) the second stanza:
no matter the god they serve,
nor how old or young.
could be written with less words as
no matter the age
or the god they serve —
thereby allowing age to have a ambiguous meaning: age of the person, and the age in which we live. End with ‘—‘ to be a spring into the final stanza
3) the final stanza can be stronger as
we are Spiritual beings in human cocoons
waiting to emerge.

Nice thoughts, and something to ponder on, while we all share the whole spirit
thru different thoughts, cloths and beliefs, we are Humans, so lets behave as such..
thanks for sharing..
