Dimensions
---John Devv
Commentary:
Every crooked line is-
indeed straight in parts.
in diversities of men can find-
the limitlessness of creator, God
for men these are but sad-
differences to take the sword
The more HE reveals
verities increase in thousand folds
even the artificial is as well real
to the person behind it for real
yet we are biased and blind.
while we have the winter wind
summer is forgotten in the mind
and again when the summer comes
we say the worst summer in years
and yet again those winter days
summer is forgotten by the mass.
And thus man lives his life
raped by the vagaries of time
his mind deduces from his-
ever cherishing dreams to wishes
but the time scatters the wishes
In this journey through imperfection-
towards that perfection
we have the Nirvana of Buddha
we found the creation in Brahma
we have the oneness in Allah
The fulfillment of love in Jesus
one truth in so many ways to suit
yet we kill to hoist our own flag
knowing not their colour is the same
colour of the life giving blood and love.
