All These

 

In every subset of category

Exists the truth and the individual

Sometimes in harmony

More often at odds

 

Patronizingly invoking a mention of God

brings you neither closer to Him

nor nearer to the reality of truth.

 

His benevolence allows us to grapple with self

As if our issues concerned all else

beyond a relationship with Him.

 

Recognition, His quest

Service, His desire

Understanding, His goal

Compassion, His nature

Mercy, His gift

Redemption, His reward

All these given,

for belief.
