Sonnet

You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul.
And, found in the New not Old Testament, with all your mind.
We ask ourselves what is the essence of all this toil.
Is it to have faith, to understand or just be kind.

But remember that it is the mind that must be used, look around.
Our brain, that amazing creation of one hundred billion neurone cells.
As many as the stars in all the Milky Way that can be found.
So accept this abundant creation, follow science and ring out the bells.

I never have got my head around this.
How can God, one intelligence create all these wonders now and then.
I suppose the answer is not to worry, just accept bliss.
It’s beyond our Ken.

But one thing is certain, be rational.
Accept science as well as faith and why not be a little international.

Haiku

Be rational
Accept science with faith too
And also the world
