GRAND RELIGION

Some say it was Krishna

Who came to guide and save us.

Some think it was Buddha,

Others declare it was Jesus.

Some say the Laws of Conduct,

None can this deny.

But does it make much sense to say

There’s naught else in the sky?

If one jumps out from the small well

Into the vast religious sea,

One will know there is much more

To religious ecstasy!

Religions are like volcanoes:

Powerful sure they are.

And they come from a deeper Source

That’s grander, oh by far!
