Everyone's entitled to believe
Whatever *Truth* that gets them through the night.
But bludgeoning naysayers with contempt
Belies the holiness of he who wields.
Why is there only one road to eternal rest?
By what proof does that narrow concept stand?
If God is Love and Allah is merciful,
If Yahweh commands
the same ten behaviors for all of humankind,
Cannot we mortals find our ways at will?
Beneath each faith exists a common girder:
The Golden Rule, the common sense of living.
If unto others you do as you seek to be done to
Won't kindness and understanding win out over war?
And freedom reign in every hemisphere?
