@ When God Speaks Poem by Jordan Legaspi

When God speaks
It's about the law of love
Not about the love of law
When God speaks
It's all about forgiveness
Not about the buts and ifs of its situation
When God speaks
It's all about the respect and acceptance
And surely not a one sided affair
When God speaks
It's about justice
And not just for few, but for all
When God speaks
It's all about dialogue
With a listening heart and mature mind
When God speaks
It's all about us: creation and children
Not I and me alone
And definitely not just you exclusively;
It's all about us: family of human race;
Neither superior nor inferior from each other
Because we are all equal in the eyes of our creator,
It's all about us: body and soul
With honor and dignity, unique and special being
When God speaks
It's all about you and me
Called to be neighbor and friend with each other;
Invited to be the channel of peace to our brothers and sisters;
Welcomed to share our selves to the passion of Jesus
When God speaks
It's now and it's forever
