Passing through this world purposefully, As a pilgrim in hostile land cautiously, Holding the treasure of priceless gem gingerly, Are skills every earthling must learn speedily.
Myriad voices teach different creeds, Discordant appeals confusing a pick. Proselytizing amidst the deafened pack, Whose fault is it should you make a wrong pact?
Everyone is responsible for choices made, You have a thinking brain to engage, Open your eyes and fine-tune your ears, Listen to your conscience, be sure you are right.
The passage into history is a finality. Are you counting on unverified expectations, Of irrevocably unpredictable eventuality? Listen to your conscience, be sure you are right.
In our various travellings across the globe, We have our passports and ensure our visas, We planned for places to lodge our stay. The journey of eternal stake deserves a better care.
This is an avenue for comparative information, To know better what you are holding, To pilgrimage purposefully and cautiously, Holding gingerly your treasure of priceless gem.
Religion is filled with good and bad, vice and virtue. The first murder in humanity was on religious ground. It is still the same today, the wrong persecuting the right. Grappling the wind at the end of time; destructive ignorance.
