GLIMPSES OF HUMANITY


I COSMIC ORIGIN

When humans began to think,

They began to wonder too

About how we came to be

And why on earth we are.

Some thought it all arose

From the waters of the sea,

Some that it was from Fire or Air

That all live things came to be.

Then came some inspired sages

Who introduced the great idea

Of a Grand Creator God

Who brought forth the World and Man.

These founders of religions great and small

Said that we must thank God for that

With chants and hymns and psalms,

And worship Him in special places.

This is the least we can do, they felt,

To express our sincere Thanks

For the good experiences we all get

At least for a brief span of Time.

Unfortunately, a great  many people

Have fought, died and killed  

One another in the name of their God.

For my part I simply meditate

On UTOOG: which simply stands for

Unknown Target Of Our Gratitude.
