I never speak of God
but people keep telling me about God
and they keep telling me:
This is the Word of God!
Or they brandish a Book before me
and they say:
This is the Final Word of God!
But I say:
Look, I’ve just had a Revelation;
God has just spoken to me;
it’s the First and Final Message in One Word:
Love…
You see, there’s only one Word of God:
Love…
and Love is unconditional
and you do not hate
and you do not kill, never…
That is the word of God, Love…
So take the Word of God: Love
and drop everything else…
So, there’s just Love
and the word God is superfluous;
there’s just one word, one reality:
Love

Some external links: The Bat’s Poetry Cave. — Fledermaus’s poetry site. Talking Writing Monster. — the irreverent and irrelevant chatter on subjects both serious and not quite. A free for all board. You can scribble anything on it without registration (but it doesn’t let spammers in). You can even post your poems. Qwant.com. — a search engine from France. It’s an alternative because there are a few alternatives, like Bing, Duckduckgo, and Ecosia. And there is Yandex, the ultimate language-oriented search engine for the Russophone world. Commercial Links: Russian Commerce – the foreign trade assistance agency Other links: Poems and poetry in Russian (if you are reading this in English, as you obviously are, then you’d have to switch the language, the language switch is on the menu.
