The beauty of a persons faith is that they shun that which has no benefit for them

Seven dusts

Seven dusts of earth brought forth and mixed with pure water
Then fashioned He the noble form unlike any other
Breath of life brought to life my cold hard dead body
Who am I? I am you! We are anybody...
 
If I am you and you are me and we are of the same
Then how can you hate me so when life is just a game?

He of fire and jealous desire betrayed his lofty status
Intention changed and became arranged into lifelong hatred for us
Me and you we share our roots in heaven with our Maker
He tests our faith and kinship bonds by way of our hater
 
If you are me and I am you and we are of the same
Then how can I hate you so when life is just a game?
 
Sacred blood, dust filled bodies and spiritual water
Little more than what’s under foot how then do we falter?
Failure to realise life’s signs that we belong elsewhere
Seeking to gain this worlds’ poisons adorned in glittered glamour
 
If we are the same and life’s a game what then is the point of that?
The question is continually posed; “when will you come back?”
 
He who hates us is driving us apart proving his vicious statement:
“I am better than he for I am of fire created”
Earth nurtures and gives life so hold my hand forever
Let’s prove him wrong and let’s go home and live in peace forever
 
I am you and you are me and we are all together
Learn the rules, love one another and seek help in patience and prayer
 
Yesterday is gone and is never coming back and tomorrow’s far away
The moment is now, be pure and chaste maybe all that’s left is today
Make each second count as if it’s your last and be neither arrogant nor prideful
Be not like those who follow their lusts and chart the course of the sinful
 
You are me and I am you and we are all together
I am you and you are me and together we can make things better
