Contemplation on the Odu Irosun Osa

The problem with
faith
is that it's predicated on
someone else’s version
of truth
which may one day
prove to be  
less than
truthful
Therefore it is up to us 
each and every one
to find the truth
for ourselves
by continually questioning
our beliefs
so as to determine
what “our"
truth
is
only then
can we have
faith

Contemplation on the Odu Ogunda Iwori

I hope that the words that
Spill on to the page
From the chalice of my thoughts
Might cause you to slip
And stumble upon God
Perhaps then you will realize that
Religion is
Meaningless
And that all the preachers that
quote scripture
Like trained parrots
Have not comprehended that
There are no words
That could ever explain
The infinite
Except perhaps
Love
