Open to review for Friend Tate

poem in rhyming quatrains

 

Open to review.

 

Although they all believed they knew.

The truth was known to very few

 and mostly those who held the view.

A single life time would not do.

 

For each immortal soul to learn

 the lessons needed each in turn.

 Which would enable it to earn

 the merit needed to return.

 

From whence it came; the final goal.

To combine with the oversoul

and free from any earthly role.

Just one small part of a perfect whole.

 

Though I believe that this is true.

It’s only my considered view.

One which is open to review.

Because I know no more than you.

 

Although different creeds still argue.

Their way and only theirs is true

I think they take a narrow view.

Exactly as they’re taught to do.

 

The different creeds meet different needs

and on the whole most do succeed.

We ought to judge them by their deeds

 and not the tenets of their creed.

I cant say enough of this one as it rings true to all I can see
The different creeds meet different needs
and on the whole most do succeed.
We ought to judge them by their deeds
and not the tenets of their creed.

I like this I think it is very well written annd such wonderful emotion expressed.
I am not sure really what "tenets" is, but I really enjoyed what you have said here.
