I did write this in the mountains in Petra in Jordan in December 1998.


The pub is my church

The pub is my church
and God is you and I.

There are no holy stones
-the birds are shitting on them!

Our relations are holy
the birds cannot shit on them.

You don't need a priest
you don't need a church.

One thing is needed:
Love your neighbour as yourself.

it is always so inspiring to be in nature, in the mountains... just had to say ;) i like your poem... reflects very much what i believe myself... it seems more logical and practical to me to concentrate on whats around us instead of chasing ideals of a superior being controlling our paths... well, thats my opinion, you know :) very good poem... I enjoyed reading very much... thanks for sharing :)

later...xx

i agree - god is us, we make the choices, gods of ourselves, right or wrong is the option and love is the smiling way.
just a point here though, many do not even love themselves, perhaps this is why conflict ensues.

How liberating it is to finally realize that it is so!
