The Bible Q'uran and Cookbooks

The Bible Q'uran and Cookbooks

A Chapter by Richard B. Berry

Sometimes I cringe in envy, for what some appear to have.

Solace and peace of mind, not to mention eternal salvation.

No matter how hard I've tried the leap of faith evades me

So many questions, no answers as doubts fill my mind

Too easy to see the hypocrisy within their way of life

As the book has justifications For every sin that comes to mind

How can I be wrong, who is right

Is this all some bizarre lie?

I'm too simple to look for signs for anything can mean anything

I know that God is there beyond anything I can define

 As much as I've doubted I still come back to this

what is all this and what does it mean?

Yet others seem to have this connection to something

 so perfect so simple

 that they are willing to die for it and kill for it

even if it does not make sense

Though they are so convinced oftheir righteousness

Oh I feel like such a fool

even when I know God is there

 has even communicated with me

at least that is who I perceived it to be

I still do not see what they see

especially

 in the context of such flowery words

that cast such random damnations

No matter how many texts I read,the Bible,Q'uran or others

makes me feel I need to submit

to a host of rituals

Though there is wisdom in those books

but then there is also wisdom in cookbooks
