words

your arcane rituals hold no substance
and your methods have been obsolete
from the beginning,
put down your steeple and your sword
for there is no place for these things
as god is not an idea for combat or swaying,
god holds no prevalence over any nation
or principle for god is in all things,
god is in dirt and gold, in blood and bone,
god speaks in wind and in water and in fire,
god speaks through everything
at an octave beyond knowing,
god is not your brother
and god is not a keeper,
god is in everything and as such
we are all god and god is alone in this.
