I Once Identified as a Christian

March 26, 2018 by Russell Wardlow 1 Comment

I once identified as Christian
Maybe because of Christmas
So I guess I never been religious
maybe there is just too many religions
so whose right in this world that we live-in
and if I choose the wrong side, will I be forgiven or eternally re-live it
What about those whom are still ignorant?
A child, a teen, foreigners, islanders, monks, and the indigenous
each teaching with commonalities but on their own side of scrimmage
I can’t even fathom how that’s possible, I don’t get it
history showed religion was controlled by the higher ups
so if I’m low on the totem pole & accept my limited role, will I ascend high enough?
I believe in God, my relationship is of love, fear and enlightenment
I repent with a pure heart without confessions or tithe enticement
speaking beliefs are taboo yet they rule the mass’
They should all be heard so I just figured I’d ask
Belief and love should never be uptight
so never stray to convey its meaning, because all religions endured sacrifice
