Yes



The greater the specificity
Of a system of belief the greater
The possibility it will be
Unbelievable sooner or later
Become another absurdity
Ongoing in the unknowing that goes
Out not knowing what nobody knows
Humankind being mistaken again

Like even I was once taken in
By those who had God oddly figured out
In systematic theology
But was lifted out by the gift of doubt
With which I saw what I was without
Above superstitious tendentiousness

Love is what this story is about
It was love all along and I was wrong
Love is the rhyme of reality

A universe of possibility
When choices informed by hope are made
By those who have chosen to love like me
Once I was systematic but now
Here I am out of the system somehow
I may be wrong but my faith is strong

Open to the universe unafraid
Of those who get paid to be afraid
To let go now that I know I am free
That God is love nothing more nor less
Than everything that specifically
What puts the real in reality
Is this singular specificity
In nonspecific simplicity

I believe all this was love all along
Answering all of my questions yes

If we focus on love and respect, our lives have more meaning. Even religion should be based upon love. Love is all we need.

When you have faith in God you have hope and dreams, those who don't believe in God have nothing.
