My Gift To The World

My Gift To The World

I give a vision of a new reality,
a new civilization rising
out of the ashes of the old.

I give a vision of humanity,
as a single species
healing from the prejudices of separation.

I give a vision of religion,
as a single book with many chapters,
and multiple revealers.

I give these to the world
without cost;
I give to all
leaving it up to the individual
to either accept or to reject.

I give because it is my duty to share,
and it is the responsibility
of each recipient choose what to do with the gift.

Poet's Note: ▼

I wrote this on 5 Mulk 163 B.E. This was inspired by a deepening on proclaiming Baha'u'llah's message to the world.
