Claims of the finite

...after reading from the "Gita"...

Good and Evil
are man's domain
not heavens.
The Infinite One lays no claim
to man's religion-
nor his deed.
The I AM THAT
neither yeas nor nays
man's folly or discretion,
it's man himself
who claims that need.

The images man made
in order to appease his fears :
every religion creating it's own
"Golden Calf",
the Infinite can not be found
in laws of man,
nor can slayers slay on it's behalf.
The Infinite
has no need of defenders,
no judgment in it's name
needs to be rendered,
man's ignorance or wisdom-
his own judging,by which
his future will be tendered.

Dear Sylvia
It has long since been established by the minority that all we call life is co-dependency. And, that the state of independence awaits when we 'die'. An easy equation but we need to offer more than the worn out stance of constantly pointing to the obvious as if its a new revelation. Good poem but we need to go deeper.
Regards, Tom

Every line a gem, but I personally advocate these.

Excellent work.

This poem is awesome. I would say something in response to it, but you pretty much covered it completely.

A clear philosophical thought... "Claims of the finite"... reveals.

I salute You, Poet.
