Belief Poems
My Firm Belief Is, That Pizarro
by Aldous Huxley
My firm belief is, that Pizarro
Received education at Harrow -
This alone would suffice,
To account for his vice,
And his views superstitiously narrow.
You Taught Me
by Abasiama Udom
You taught me Papa,
that the way to heaven is paved with lack and tears
that they who wear finery will never see the street of Gold.
You taught me that blessings come from God,
You said I only need to commit to prayer.

Behold
by Mahtab Bangalee
Behold; I have no fear of You
Though you are everywhere conspicuously,
though every single moment the whole universe
is not empty from Your High Excellency's presence
Behold; I have no fear of Your presence
though You are the omnipresent Almighty,
though You are a severe destroyer as well as creator,
though You are an Author of harsh punishment
as well as gracious merciful

Dancers in the Dark
by Dr Ishan Capoor
When doubt knocks on your door,
Hoping to get an embrace ,
Do you open your arms and let it rent some space ?
When free decides to creep within,
Do you dance in the dark or look within ?
When depression says long time no see ,
Do you invite it over for a cup of tea?

Nothing More Than a Change of Mind
by D James
You who with confidence proclaim your truths
Steadfast in opinion ever since your youth
Always know your move in the voting booth
Which way you’re going to steer

Hear these words, though they aren’t mine,
‘Nothing more than a change of mind, my dear’.
You find your view and then find the facts

The Forgotten Years: The Light of the Far East
by Kinsley Lee
For a long time in the Bible, we've not known his younger days,
But in many parts of the Middle East, he lived with his father.
It’s said he traveled—by ships and on foot long ways—
And once he'd grown, he journeyed farther and farther,
To the lands alone, seeking ancestral traces,
And meeting tribes and many different faces.
From Ethiopia, where the priests of Sheba's Sons, have prayed,
And past the Arabian Sea to Ganges’ towers,
He wandered plateau, veiled in myth and shade,

Behind the Veil of Religion
by Mario Odekerken
Incense rises,
not always as prayer,
but as habit.
Lips move in practiced rhythm,
echoing words
long emptied
of meaning.
The veil is beautiful.

Achieve what you believe
by Creig Burkeens
If you want something
Believe In it
Achieve it
I didn't realize that until I had wrote my first poem
I had not thought I was able to do anything until one day
I had gone through everything and couldnt do it
But...that was because I was trying to find an excuse to do something
I hadn't believed in it
I just did it without believing
Then I changed my mind
