(dedicated to Mr. Louis Lortie, a great pianist)
at dawns
mornings
afternoons
evenings
midnights
generation to generation
centuries to centuries
millions years
even billions
time to time
around the world
all people
pray and worship
with their
own special ways
to seek help
to seek fortune
to seek prosperity
to seek victory
to seek purity
to find love
to find cure
to find peace
to find happiness
to find forgiveness
did they see their deeds?
did they see their hearts?
did they see their minds?
did they see their feels?
did they see their souls?
is God full of love or loveless?
is God man or woman?
is God smart or stupid?
is God young or old?
is God rich or poor?
it’s not God, to be questioned?
it’s not God, to be afraid of?
it’s not God, to be doubted?
it’s not God, to be worried?
it’s not God, to be blamed?
God’s care and love
more than all mothers’
God’s cure and mercy
more than all doctors’
God’s forgiveness is vast
why do people kill people?
why do people erase love?
why do people hurt animals?
why do people deny children?
why do people damage nature?
people to lead earth
people to love earth
people to care earth
people to develop earth
people to manage earth
if you’re true worshipers
lead and love peacefully
if you’re true prayers
do care honestly
earthy life
your life is a miracle
your life is precious
your life is fantastic
your life is worthy
your life is honor
(inspired by Armand Guillaumin's Sunset at Ivry)
AHMAD, OF COURSE, AS USUAL, ANOTHER INCREDIBLE PRESENTATION OF THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS OF MERIT AND WORTH. MY QUESTION TO ONE AND ALL IS: IF THERE IS A GOD WHO CONTROLS AND CREATED EVERYTHING, CAN SEE AND HEAR ALL, WHO SUPPOSEDLY INTERCEDES WHEN HE OPTS TO, WHY, THEN, DOES ALL THE HORROR EXIST AND CONTINUE TO EXIST? WE CAN FOCUS ALL WE WANT ON HOPE AND CONTINUE TO PRAY DAY AND NIGHT TO HAVE THINGS CHANGE, BUT IT HASN'T WORKED, HAS IT, EVEN WITH THE MANY GODS AND BELIEF SYSTEMS AVAILABLE TO US? WE HAVE TO HELP OURSELVES AND MUST CARE FOR THE EARTH AND ALL CREATURES WHO SHARE THIS PLANET WITH US. COLOR, CULTURE, SPECIES SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE. WE'RE EQUAL AND NEED LOVE AND ASSISTANCE TO SURVIVE. NEED TO GIVE LOVE AND GET LOVE. THANKS FOR YOUR SEARCHING MIND, CAROL
