Y.... Who? Poem by Aufie Zophy

Y.... Who?

Rating: 5.0


Who is guaranteeing salvation for some
And wilfully misleading others
Is it our most gracious and most forgiving Creator
Or the ego of our preachers?

Who is promising heaven for followers of the same
And guaranteeing hell for others
Is it our most gracious and most forgiving Creator
Or is it the ego of our preachers?

Who is labelling cultural differences and rituals
As the law of the Creator
Is it our most gracious and most forgiving Creator
Or the ego of our preachers?

Who is it?

Who...the questions is who the Creator or the preachers...Who is create us, our Creator...How we can get messages from our Creator? Messengers....and after Messengers who should we should get the the Holy words? Preachers... Definitely for whom believe in Him believes that there were messengers...His words jumps from Messenger's mouth to people's ears...to tell all what they got from above...But the things may be not easy to go, human is human...He said and he(messenger) spread and us follow, some changed the words He said he(preachers) changed and we followed? So which is truth among many of truth claimed here? ? ...Some of human changed and it not from HIM but from him...that's why the messengers keep changed time by time, generation by generation, from early human to races..people tend to change but the truth need to keep stand...until the last come and it can stand, so it's up to everyone to believe or not...we afraid to believe? because of we confused of which is true? ...Have no answer as long as we not find..but truth is out there_Unwritten Soul

Prophets or messengers born from different time or different places to spread and to fix the facts...Human behavior is complex and that good but the lie in context it's bad...and because of that messengers from Adam to the last prophet need to remind as human are in huge number now..to carry the correct message..for me lean on what messengers/prophet is better but not the preachers...and there's no way we need to fight if we not agree with each other..everyone has own mind, after all no matter what you believe we only promote love and hate among each other just destroy us..It could be not easy for someone out there to read this but that's my opinion..sincerely, and i love all people no matter what they believe..we love Loves and it's alright_Unwritten Soul

the ego of self oriented preachers, who barter religion rather than facing the spiritual!

Superb poem Hans, a man living on this earth will always try to make others inferior and others superior, coz when you look at our leader and the stupid decisions they take for us, WHO gave them that right? coz even the biggest man was a baby one time. We live in a crazy world! Siya_! !

Hi Aufie All poets have one gene That is Poetic Gene Transcended all over the earth Like seeds...carried by bees to fertilize The flowers...the fruit on the trees Although we live apart But we have one soul that is poetic soul... Thus don't get amazed What I thought and you thought On the same wave...! Sylva-MD-Poetry
