God reinforced his greatness in a powerful way through the conversations with my dear brother Amjad Saleem, the works of Karen Armstrong, Isabel Wilkerson and mediations on the Bible as I was preparing for the last couple of sermons. While this poem was brewing in my heart for weeks, it was penned down in just few minutes... The bottom line is that God is greater than whatever we imagine God is!
The one they call omnipresent,
They try to captivate in religious cages,
The one who is more fluid than the sunlight,
They struggle to control through their holy pages!
Sure, specific gatherings are pleasing,
When they glorify the unseen One,
But, all diverse cries raised up,
Are also received with love in heaven!
What wise fools they are,
They forget who is the master!
They recreate and reconstruct,
The original creator!
The so-called leaders of people,
Divide and part their followers,
By separating themselves from their kin,
The simple just follow the orders!
Time to embrace each other,
Regardless of religion and color!
My sister and brother,
Wake up from the slumber!
Look, there is access,
The barriers are false and deceiving,
Reach out and embrace the One and all,
Let love and compassion do the leading!
Drop the fear of the humans,
The accountability is to the One above,
The earthly shame is just a sham!
We are surrounded in divine Love!
