God is with you
Always with you
Within you He lives
much closer He is to you
Than your veins and arteries
Karl Marx was the father of atheism
Yet in his brain he felt God's power
Though greed for power made him blind
He felt a hole in his communist mind
Through which fear gusted like a wind
He tried to scratch that fearsome itch
By vowing that he shall unseat God
But never an inch has his communist axe
Cracked the walls of spirituality
He wished to see God leaving his life
But his wish had never materialized
As his contract with life has expired
Before he ruled the world with his idols

Marx never truly understood the human heart; but the ghost of spiritual questions he could never answer always haunted him. The 'scientific question' of radical socialist thought was never sufficient; always it led down from Marx to Lenin to Stalin.

I too agree with Regis Brother Abdi-Noor. "Namaska, the God in me salutes and honors the God in you." This is a magnificent piece. PLB&G. Grangran-n-Baba
