This Thing About Religion
by sunnilicious
As everybody knows I embrace all people and religions, however, I am labeled as a Muslim. I attempted to write in Iambic pentameter, however, not sure if I was successful because of the big words. Thinking simple words to syllable stress on finger counts aren't as simple as some may think. I wrote religion in general versus focused on one sacred and secular belief. There are too many ideologies even if they are broken into 5 mojor religious groups. And all not being monotheistic drives me into many different paths to understand. So forgive me if writing religion at a macro-level offends you. There were no ill intentions of that. God bless you, (even those with agnostics and atheist beliefs).
