Accidental Inheritance Poem by Phrank Adie

Religion is often an accidental inheritance,
Ninety percent of us did not choose our religion.
I am a Christian because my parents are Christians,
Likewise, you are a Muslim because your parents are Muslims.
I believe what Christianity has taught me,
Likewise you believe what Islam taught you.
But irrespective of our religious beliefs
We share a common fate: WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS.

God did not create Christians and Muslims,
HE created human beings, hence, we are one.
Humanism must take precedence over religion,
For it is only by loving one another that we truly love God.
Nigerians must embrace Ubuntu,
We must learn to live and die together as one people,
Division along religious lines is ungodly,
We are all God's children, and we share a common destiny.

The measure of our religiosity is how we treat human beings,
Thus the milk of kindness must not dry from our breasts.
Heaven is not any religion's monopoly,
It is open to all who do good deeds,
Irrespective of your religion.
Being our brother's keeper is the core of every godly religion,
Whatever you do to the least of human beings,
That you do unto God.
