MULTIPLE PIETY

Sometimes I wonder

Where will I get with all this wander 

May be I will be the last wonder

No wonder I seem to be the only one of my kind alive

Seeking to understand the five rays

While the fire of one God still burns in me

Amids the demand for multiple piety

I keep faith but sometimes fail to go to church on Sunday

I find mammon greatly important

But I do not wish to abandon my jealous God

To whom I send my piety to find pity for my soild soul

Him I am expected to give blind faith

For love is blind and I am bound by my allegence to love Him with all my heart

I wish to turn to understand my ancestors who warshiped one God and called him a different name

The God I am told they saw in the sun and old trees

And the first mission to our land declared them pagans

Turning my eyes to see what they saw is quite for bidden

So my faith swings on the seesaw of insatiable desire

Coupled with modernization quickly taking over

The powder keg of religion calls for devine clarification

Every other sees the other to be hell bound

They make a questioning heart enquire if the Master of all who is always right could be a little wrong

Or if they are all right and it is their judgemt but wrong in their faith

Possibly they are all wrong in their piety and judgements

What if only a select few are the only ones who are right

I give up

And kneel down to warship the God my father and mother told me

I try hard to keep faith in the caleidoscop of warshipways
