My Temple

[Mike C]

This poem reflects my religious beliefs which is Naturalism

 

MY TEMPLE

 

My temple is the greatest there is

Where most of its occupants are his

Living their lives as best they can his way

And struggling to survive the hardships of today

 

This mighty temple has the sky above as its ceiling

And the floor of the Earth as the floor for its healing

The mountains and the oceans are the walls that confine

So let us worship this gigantic treasure which is thine

 

This treasure is Nature!

 

If you love these great gifts to behold

Then you must rebuff those that defile with a scold

And protect Natures right to exist

For all their lives are worthy for them to subsist

 

As they frolic about on land and sea you will agree

Do not look down upon them because they are free

And release those that are caged and abused

So that all will enjoy a life where they are not used

 

Their lives let us ensure!

 

The ceiling has the great light of the day

And the twinkling lights of the night that are faraway

Let us enjoy these night lights to behold

And the warmth of the daylight that dispels the cold

 

This is all free for everyone to enjoy

And we should learn that Nature we should not annoy

For they all enjoy living as we people do

So realize that in the beginning they all ran, swam and flew

 

I am sure you can see that their spirits are pure!

 

And those giants of the plant world are worthy to see

For they purify the air to keep life in harmony

Let us do what we can to ensure the trees a life of great length

For they all are a good example of great strength

 

And the flowers of spring need we say are beautiful to see

As are all the tiny plants as they emerge in ecstasy

Let us admire them all with the greatest of reverence

For some are the source of our living affluence

 

So please help their cause with some expenditure!

Yes, but its just proselytizing which isn't allowed in the Theology forum. You can kinda sorta get away with it in the Artists Weightroom though because its poetry....

 

Looks like Jello, gotta nail?
