\nOf an atheist’s exclusive club
\nTolled in know uncertain terms
\nThere is science
\nAnd no other!
\nWow, where did that come from?!
\nI was razed
\nA Christian
\nA long story (some may say tall)
\nWhich makes some short
\nRed chapters
\nHeavenly verse
\nTo love
\nOne, an other
\nTo bless
\nNot curse
\nA Palestinian Jew
\nCalled Jesus
\nWe could do much worse
\nI once heard as Muslim
\nOf five pillars spoke
\nComing down to one
\nAnd as a Muslim
\nI woke
\nThen along came Buddha
\nWho said: Don’t follow me
\nExperience it first

\nThis unslakable thirst
\nToo fined compassion and justice
\nA home
\nHear
\nOn this suffering earth
\nA little man
\nCalled Gandhi
\nTo kingdoms united
\nHe spoke
\nI am
\nA Hindu
\nA Christian
\nA Muslim
\nA Jew
\nAnd undoubtedly a Sikh he
\nSo many will accuse
\nWell
\nMe too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
