A Point Of View Poem by John Thorkild Ellison

You're welcome to your point of view
(Even if I don't think it's true) ,
After all, I wouldn't tell YOU what to do!

In fact, I hope your faith gives you peace of mind -
I certainly wouldn't want to rob you of it!
That would be much too unkind!

What would you find instead?
No good asking me!
What was it Jesus said about the blind leading the blind?

I certainly can't bail you out,
My religion's one of chronic doubt,
But PLEASE stop these parables about 'sheep and goats'
And don't ram your religion down people's throats!
