John Prophet

Golden Rule

I pray every night,

have all my life.
Have no proof

anyone is listening,

but I hope there is.


It just may be a

reinforcing technique,

I\'m not really sure.


A prayer

is a harmless thing

hurts no one

in its passing.


I\'ve lost faith

in any religions,

just spouting their

propaganda.


Just power trips

as far as I can tell.


The few

telling the many

what to do.


See no reason

to put them between

me and the creator.


Some say

all that we see

comes from

nothing,

a quantum fluctuation

that\'s all.


That may be the case

I do not really know,

neither does anyone else.


Karl Marx

said \" religion is the opiate of the people\"

, he may be right

but no one can say

for sure.


Some say have faith,

\"God spoke to us, showing us the way\".


That may be the case,

but nobody knows

for sure.


Faith

is a funny thing,

we can have faith

in almost anything.


If

there is a creator

its intentions

is beyond ours to know.


So the best we can do

is live our lives,

and focus

on what we can.


Treat others

as we\'d like

to be treated

seems like a

good philosophy.


The Golden Rule

is simple enough,

and seems

to make sense to me.
