A Thought on Religious Belief in This Time of War

 

i.


 I do not sow a seed

to have seedling or sapling

wrenched from the earth.


Those welcome in my fields

celebrate the success of my crops;

those who have wreaked havoc

must answer for it on day the My return.


ii.


When God resurrects the dead,

will He not ask,

‘why are there so many children among the risen?’


Will He not then say,

‘these children were My creation;

who are these who have presumed to defy Me?’

‘I gave man dominion over the fish

beasts and birds, but not their fellow man.’


Will he not say, therefore,

‘these people have made false gods of themselves,

they have forfeited their place in Heaven.'
