DIFFERENT PEOPLE,SAME TEARS

DIFFERENT PEOPLE, SAME TEARS

I’m Christian

Oh yes I am!

You practice Islam.

My best friend is Buddhist.

That guy sitting next to me is Hindu.

That sweet girl believes in Rastafarianism.

The midwife that delivered me was a Traditionalist.

My creditors are Hare Krishna.

I believe Jesus Christ is the way,the truth and the light.

You believe Prophet Mohammed will lead you to the Maker.

The Buddhist,Hindu,Rastafarian,Traditionalist and Hare Krishna

All have their unique beliefs and doctrines.

Yet in the end,

We climb the same ladder.

We all seek to end up with the Almighty,

Whether in Heaven or in Paradise.

I call Him Jehovah.

You call Him Allah.

In Buddhism, He’s Brahma.

The Hindus refer to Him as Braham,Ishvara or Vishnu,

And for the Rastafarian, He is Jah.

We’re different and unique

In our religious beliefs and practices.

I am a Christian

Why do you forcefully want to convert me to Islam?

She is Hare Krishna

Why do you despise her because you’re a Traditionalist?

Why do you fight him

Because he believes in the ways of Prophet Mohammed,

While you believe in Buddha?

Let’s accommodate each other.

Let’s accept the divergent religious paths taken by others.

Let’s cohabit peaceably with other religious faiths.

Because in the end,

We are all different people

With same tears.

THAT'S WHY WE FALL

THAT’S WHY WE FALL

Why does it make the learned behave like ignoramuses?

Why does it make full-bearded men crawl like toothless babies?

Men of honour are made to become shameless

The aged are made to forget their ages

Why does it make days feel like midnights

And nights like noon?

Why does it make Ethiopians dress like Eskimos

And Eskimos like Fulani herdsmen?

Hardened criminals behave like saints

And saints like fallen angels?

Why does it make well-built men play like lunatics

While skinny,feeble men carry weights meant for Johnny Bravo and Umaga?

I guess that’s what love does

We don’t fly into it

We fall in it…!
