In Shadows and Light: A Shared Faith
Beneath the veil of ancient night,
Where shadows weave their silent thread,
Of deceit and lies,
All faiths arise from common plight,
A tapestry of hopes widespread.
In darkness deep, their roots entwine,
A soil rich with human kind,
Yet from this night, bright angels shine,
Dispelling doubts, dissolving tears.
From lands afar, their voices rise—
Christian- prayers and Muslim- calls,
Hindu- chants and Buddha’s- wise,
Jewish- psalms within sacred halls.
Sikh- hymns echo, Tao’s soft flow,
Shinto- winds through nature’s breath,
Each path distinct, yet all bestow
A balm to soothe the soul’s unrest.
One God, many gods, or none,
The search for truth, the quest for peace,
In rituals, the hearts are one,
In calm, the restless storms release.
The sacred texts, the ancient lore,
The moral codes that guide the way,
Teach love and kindness evermore day by day,
To light the dark, to heal the fray.
Though different names and forms they wear,
Their essence flows from same deep stream,
A human hope, a whispered prayer,
A shared embrace, a common dream.
So in the dark, where fears reside,
Good angels guard with tender grace,
And through the calm, all souls confide,
One light, one love, one human race.
And in the end, it all leads back—
To just one light, one spark, one track.
"Come find me"
Once you find the truth there is no going back.
I've learned a lot going back in time and I've learned that religion was changed from what it was changed not just by the words that we read today but it was made to give the power back to the political to control the people and that's a fact. I've learned it almost every religion has the same factors just names are changed dates are changed times are changed but their identical what's the odds of that. But they all lead back to the very same except for one religion.
