Religious peace (Vol 2 No 51)
The ‘Sacred’ has so many names
By which we do adore
The mys’try of the universe,
The ever puzz’ling ‘More’.
Religious zeal can be the source
Of love and harmony;
Yet such can also lead to war
And untold tragedy.
A dogma, claiming strict control,
Can cause us to depart
From kindness, grace and charity;
Can close an open heart.
Peace to our global home will come
When diff’rent faiths can be
Respectful of each other’s claims
Without hostility.
When trust, acceptance and good-will
Can be religions’ creed,
When faith does not give cause to fight
We will have peace indeed.
