Only Love

lyrics by:
Written on Oct 31, 2016

Why won't you believe in me?  You believe in your invisible god.
I am your flesh and blood, and yet your belief in me is non-existent.
The words I love you do not escape from your lips when I am around.
Your god can do no wrong, and yet it seems I am incapable of doing any right.
How would you feel if I spoke to an empty park bench with greater conviction than talking with you? 
I have proven myself to you, in front of you, and in spite of your condescension,
Yet you place deeper trust in something you can't see, touch or even feel.
This pain flows through my mind each day, wishing you would admit to this action.
I don't offer a threat of eternal hellfire, is that why you are less inclined to respond to me?
I don't promise an eternal heaven, just my love for you as part of our family bond.
Religion is the prodigal son of our family, and he will always receive your greatest affection.
When you reach the other side one day, in retrospect I hope you realize the importance of family.
People confuse lunacy with loyalty, claiming rights to being the father of religions.
If an entity told me to sacrifice my son, I would rebuke it and despise it with contempt.
I would not succumb to the lunatic's instruction to kill, I would renounce it's very essence.
People place religion above family, and religious dogma above humanity.
It's time to renounce idiotic brain washings, and come together as the human race.
Anything that divides us as a race cannot be attributed to a positive spirit of love.
Only love will prevail in due time.
Only love will wear a veil in due time.
Only love will avail the human race in due time.
All other actions will be subdued by the power of love.
In due time.

Preaching in poetry is not good!! Go to church instead.

You might get quite a lot of criticism for this. But thankfully I think we are all refraining from making negative comments. Though one thing I must say. The perspective we call truth, is limited because we are Human. Not everything is discovered, hence we cannot call our perspectives "truth" in the real sense. We all are afraid of what we cannot understand. -T
