Voice of the World (Free verse) by Dovina

They call us Third World below the Second below the First because we have less produce less suffer more But three are really one these days we can help you understand come and let us show you hear the One World voice Osama gives us food teaches kids to read Musharraf gives promises and sewage in the street Work all day to buy a chicken or dine on scraps of rich don’t say we have democracy and allies in the West Fill not the mouth of famine if you fear to make us strong but feed the brains of young ones not yet won to jihad’s cause Come and give them options show them one big world maybe we will kill you maybe they will not

Yes, these are some very “un-Dark Angel-like” things you are saying: “The normal, healthy human being has empathy for other human beings.” Have your prior statements on the subject been abnormal or unhealthy? I will take this as if it were your first muttering about empathy and say that I agree.

Regarding my infidel point, what do I think about the afterlife of non-believers? Do I think they deserve eternal damnation? David Wilkerson appears to think so. I am not convinced. For example, if I knew my parents were burning in hell, I might strive to go there just be with them, rather than sit in heaven’s luxury. And wouldn’t they be glad to see me in spite of the flames? Furthermore, at what age would they see me, and I them? With these confusions, I prefer to ignore any possible afterlife. Religion for me is here and now.

Regarding religion and morality, I think we agree. Religion is relationship with God; morality is relationship with people.
