“ISLAND IN THE SUN”
There are “tiny islands”
Scattered in the middle
Of a vast deep blue ocean
As one explores each of them
Sure to stop by an
“Island” in the sun
Called: Zoroastrianism
As one steps off the boat
To explore the “island”
A big sign seems to read:
“To live on this island
All one needs is
Good Thoughts Good Words Good Deeds
Clear of Racism Discrimination Bigotry
Asho Zarathushtra the primary resident
Seems to say:
“No one is forced to
Go to Fire Temples to pray
Or listens to sermons every Sunday
Or sit in a confession box
Whispering:
“Forgive me Dasturji
For I have sinned”
Asho Zarathushtra replies:
“He has no authority
To pardon any sin
That’s where one’s
Conscience kicks in”
I have discovered a
Secret treasure
More precious than
Silver & Gold
Hidden among the
Dotted “islands”
“Island of Zoroastrianism”
In my heart I’ll ever hold
There is one True Friend
Which I have grown
To love & trust
A pure shining jewel
Diamond in the rough.
Real nice observations.
