...Kahlil Gibran

[Guest guest]

Of Religion

 

Sage

 

Religion is a well-tilled field,

Planted and watered by desire

Of one who longed for Paradise,

Or one who dreaded Hell and Fire.

 

Aye, were it but for reckoning

At Resurrection, they had not

Worshipped God, nor did repent,

Except to gain a better lot-

 

As though religion were a phase

Of commerce in their daily trade;

Should they neglect it they would lose-

Or persevering would be paid.

 

Kahlil Gibran

From The Procession

 

Hope everyone is having a good day.
