Most of my life I was there,
Going to church,
A church where Jesus was,
Was there as the son of god.
This all changed,
As where was that god
When my wife suffered,
Suffered for so long.
So I forego christianity
And a weight lifted from me,
I saw that all organised religion
Was just a farce.
I walked into the Chapel,
A Unitarian Chapel
And there I found new life,
A life where god was there,
Or god was not there.
The belief that we had the right,
The right to seek truth,
Truth and meaning within us,
Finding from self-experience
The way to go forward.
Within a community
Each having their own beliefs,
The own beliefs or doubts.
Our own individual liberty is enjoyed,
Where self-integrity is better,
Better than a pressure to conform.
A place where I have found a way,
Found a way to look further,
Further into my life
Without beliefs forced on me,
Forced on me by organised religion.
I know that my god and my spirit exist,
Exist within me,
And they are My God and My Spirit.
