The True Value of Innocence

The True Value of Innocence

When these vessels return to purity
having spent time in this world of deceit,
and spurned for sweet love and kind charity,
false promises of wealth that’s counterfeit.

Then we shall with eyes of innocence see
love contained in every beautiful soul,
the world may preach war, lust, pride, and vanity,
in heaven, love is valued more than gold.

Each soul will shine with love’s eternal light,
No Bishan, Eve, Maryam, or Rachel mourn
to evil wars the loss of a brother, or son,
in heaven, heroes rise over life’s plight.

In purity, there’s but one deity,
Untainted Love is the soul’s only faith,
no laws exist of inequality,
each soul shines as in Love’s light it bathes.

Empty yourself of your crafty accords,
let the peace of God be your only thought,
do good to all, set aside wickedness,
for pure innocent love gains great reward.
