Open To Review. For C.P.Sharma Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Although they all believed they knew.
The truth was known to very few
and mostly those who held the view.
A single life time would not do.

For each immortal soul to learn
the lessons needed each in turn.
Which would enable it to earn
the merit needed to return.

From whence it came; the final goal.
To combine with the oversoul
and free from any earthly role.
Just one small part of a perfect whole.

Though I believe that this is true.
It’s only my considered view.
One which is open to review.
Because I know no more than you.

Although different creeds still argue.
Their way and only theirs is true
I think they take a narrow view.
Exactly as they’re taught to do.

The different creeds meet different needs
and on the whole most do succeed.
We ought to judge them by their deeds
and not the tenets of their creed.
