I wish I was religious
so I could go to heaven with beautiful people
but even a flower is ugly when it wilts,
so what constitutes true beauty?
Will I be granted a pass into everlasting bliss
off looks alone?
Having never saved a man’s life,
stopped global warming,
or brought world peace,
am I still eligible?
and if no individual raindrop
ever considers itself responsible for the flood,
is each drop still unaccountable?

Love is the one perfect religion.
Spread love like violence,
embrace unity,
worship the power of your heart;
its capacity for unlimited, undying, unconditional love.
look into your children’s eyes
and admire their brightness.

Love is the one perfect religion.
Spread love like violence,
sing praises to your lovers,
embrace the little things in life:
smiles, laughter, learning something new.
Cherish that.

I wish I was religious
so I could go to heaven with beautiful people
but even a flower is ugly when it wilts,
so what constitutes true beauty?
the ability to give and receive love.
