A Wider View

If God exists

He or She knows All

Is Everywhere

And Everywhen

And lives beyond

Space and Time.

For so it is to be a God.

 

She is far too great

To concern herself

With this grain of sand

Lost in the vastness of our Multiverse.

 

Our words can’t hurt Her,

Maybe make Her smile at most,

Even as we take Her name in vain.

Our petty squabbles

Are but fights

Amongst the ants.

 

She Loves all Life,

Though some be sacrificed at times

For the Greater Good.

 

I ask you all

To open your mind

And see us through Her eyes.

She cannot want us

To martyr ourselves

Or kill those who are different

In race or creed.

 

She will not give us Heaven

If we sacrifice our lives

To kill Her creatures

That she made

With such magnificent grace.

 

Above all else She is a Loving God,

Cherishing ALL that Lives.

Forget the ancient histories

Of warring and strife.

NOW is where we are,

And now is the Time

For Love.
