Tell me of my God
My guide
Not my judge
Of wide open spaces
Of sky and of love
Tell me of my God
Of light
Not of dark
Of the days that we live in
Not dust from the past
Tell me of my God
Not sheep in a line
Nor of Man's religions
Their dogmas
Their signs
Tell me of my God
A presence in mine
To be found in all things
Connected through Time
For here is God's presence
God's temple of peace
Seen from all places
South, West, North and East
Its the Earth and it’s peoples
It’s colours
It’s sounds
It’s lands and it’s oceans
Where life all abounds
The stars in the heavens
The Planets
Their seeds
These are the God in which I believe
And my God is no harm
To those prophets who spake
For all Mans religions
We now should debate
For my God begat them
As he begat thee
But God has now said
Its time God was free
Free of religions
Which slander God's name
The religions of Man
The fanatics insane
The churches
The mosques
The synagogues too
They have nothing to do with the God that I view
Their purpose was served
When their message was spread
In lands far apart
When men spoke
But not read
In days when Man lived in communities
Blind
Of far distant cultures
Of others
His kind
Their message was sent
Yet again and again
Delivered by prophets
With different names
At different times
With different claims
Religions got tangled
Within their own chains
And these messages left us a terrible curse
The division of Man
Across all of Earth
So it’s time to consider
The future of Man
As I can’t believe that this was God’s plan
For the fruits of Religion
Are seen all around
The innocent’s corpses
The blood soaked ground
We see it each day
On our screens we are taught
Religion
The reason that these people fought
If you add up the dead
The wounded and scarred
The innocents murdered
With complete disregard
Religion does not seem to offer much gain
Just thousands of years
Of incredible pain
So here is a statement
A statement of fact
Fit for our time
Man move forward not back
Its time to accept
All your Gods are the same
You are killing each other
Just over a name
So we should examine the Religions of Man
Keep what is good
Use what we can
But when we come to decide
What they’re worth
Remember
It is to Religion that hell owes it’s birth
So to whatever Religion
You may now belong
In whatever language
You sing holy song
Examine your conscience
Your mind let expand
See the twenty first century
As God wanted Man
For God never envisaged
That we should abuse
That greatest of gifts
The power to choose
For God has no favourites
We are all as one
And Religion can’t change that
It won’t be undone
So let us take time to read what was said
By the various Prophets now all long dead
Remember the fact that there can only be
One God for all of us
Surely you see
So if God should be known
By Man
As a whole
The time now has come
For us all
To enroll
In the knowledge of something
We have missed all this time…..
God is Universal
-
It's senses
-
Mankind

Egal Bohen
