Becoming The Messiah

I believe in Jesus

I believe in Buddha

I believe in Mohammed

—divinity shared

I believe in grace

I believe in epiphany 

I believe in tomorrow

—the promise it bears

I believe in man’s ability

to rise above his nature

religion the jailer

—whose lies forestall

I believe that enlightenment

requires a commitment

to become the living embodiment

—of that One who calls
