I once strode a path of crippling doubt and bleak despair The world disowned, disdained, dismissed me with little care Yet God, omnipotent and just, the counting out ensnared For I transcend their bounds, their judgments pale and snared

I confronted the devil, a stone heart within my chest No ignorant prayers, but a bold, unflinching behest My eyes opened, beyond their narrow sight and test A world teeming with life, chance, and possibility's best

Judas-like, they deceived and betrayed me, time and again Yet I persisted, a lighthouse to guide them back to amen From shattered mind, body, and soul, I fashioned a new ken For the love Christ imparted to me, to heaven it will ascend

I'm no Christian, nor a Muslim, for all religions condescend But unity, love, and harmony, I champion, without end For we are all, but a reflection of our inner trend A chance for a new world, for humanity's transcend

In a relationship with Christ, my beacon of celestial light Mohammed taught me darkness, but love imparted new sight My light shines bright, through the darkest of the night For I'm a traveler, a mere guest, on this journey, I take flight

Love, it transcends emotions, binding all as one It's what Adam and Eve had, before the fall had begun A fire that unites, from the heavens to the earth, it's spun Love, a bond that endures, since time begun

The universe, an infinite expanse, where my soul roams Within me, a light, a beacon, that illuminates and combats the gloam Hope, love, and grace, all come to those who seek, and roam I stand, the culmination of humanity, to forever comb

The beat breaks, the rhymes elevate, as I stand tall God is my focus, my purpose, my reason, my all Goodness may be trampled on, but love, I hear it's call It's the key that unlocks, the force that moves, the ultimate thrall
