What does religion taste like, smell like, feel like?

"Every religion contains, in varying degrees, elements of the soft and the hard. For the sake of world peace, dialogue within religions and among them must strengthen the softer aspects," said Johan Galtung, mathematician and sociologist, and considered one of the founders of peace and conflict studies. January 16th is Religious Freedom Day in the United States, but is significant across the globe, as violence and occupation in the name of religion, profiling of individuals based on religious background, and fear of the religious 'other' overshadows the main tenants of these very religions. To mark this day, TakingITGlobal is holding a poetry contest, asking the question, what does religion taste like, smell like, feel like? The winner will receive a gift certificate from Amazon!

Religion Mirrors Ourselves
Related to country: Romania


R-aising the races of our intuitions toward the goodness of one's divinity,

E-mpowers the words of God with sweetness and pureness of sincerity.

L-ight sways to men's souls,fragrance of blood digests the hardest bones-

I-n crust of the world,the solemness even surprised through these vibrating tones.

G-reat promises to  a land of believers,others seemed calm,the rest--- unconvinced,

I-nviting moments weigh the lines on that tablet of Moses,whereas to be pleased!

O-utstanding words embrace the hearts of those who are weak and brave,

N-othing is wasted to grasp the dulcinea of wine and bread on true pave!

M-aking praises bridge the gap of men's sweetness,sourness nor bitterness,

I-nstrument of Our Saviour lifts the oblivious one and even heals his brokenness.

R-eaching the cross of life which enlightens the virtues of our existence,

R-emarking the possibilities of taking the pros and cons of prominence.

O-wning the verdict of consolidation, to build this church of adoration,

R-everence adds the powerful meaning of love in a genuine conviction;

S-anctity rules inside the house of God, with humility and benediction!

OURSELVES understand richness,sensibility,equality,love,values... ensign  sanctification!
