Precedence Poem by AHO Speaks

Precedence

Religion is histories pages laying on top of one anotherChurch secrets hidden in a vault or under a cover.
Church was not a word known in its time
Rather in roots with temple, were entwined.

Jewish word of temple the early Christians despised
For centuries they blamed the Jews for they crucified.

Keys were not given to open a kingdom but a door
For a vision of the spirit and need no more.

If God does not encourage you to ask and speak
God will understand you want to listen and let others preach.

God does nor need a religion as a desire
Rather you speak to God before you expire.

God does not want to hear from you one out of seven
Nor only on high holy days when the bread and wine are given

God will not condemn deeds of honor and glory
Nor will it exempt any one from the human story.

God's gifts are never singular nor given to one
Rather for all children for evil to overcome

A single moment of life to last for endless time
One, 'thank you'; during the day spoken to the divine.
