The Only Way and My Way

The Christian said you had to go through
Christ to get to heaven, and He was the

Only way. The Hare Krishna said you had
To go through Krishna to get to Krishnaloka

And He was the only way. Nondualists said
You had to get to the Oneness and that was

The true way. With these different beliefs
And many more, maybe none are right, or

Maybe all are right dependent on the path
The seeker followers, and perhaps there is

No only way and many ways to many
Different final destinations for each seeker.

Or maybe all are wrong and at the end of
Life a different version awaits everyone.

If I could pick and choose my only way
It would be eternal love with a soulmate

In something akin to a blissful paradise
With everyone like angels and no rules

Or deities one had to be subservient to,
And sweets would be great for you.

And if you join my cult and send me
Truckloads of money, I’ll get you there.

79, cancer survivor, work out 3 times a week, ride my exercise bike 2 hours daily. Began writing poetry October 2023, living in Greensboro, North Carolina, originally from just outside of Boston, MA. Retired and enjoying a solo, reclusive life always researching and gaining knowledge. Most of my poems are fictional. I write about many things: Spirituality, Mysticism, the Paranormal, Cryptids, Werewolves, Ghosts, 411s, Nature, Birds, Animals, Romantic Love, Death, NDEs, Women Persecuted as Witches, Fictional Characters I Create, News Stories, AI, Robots, Insects, like the poem entitled, Hail Caesar Bob, (about when bees were swarming me outside the door to my apartment), and many other topics. I write a minimum of 3 poems daily, sometimes more. I like and abide by the saying life's too short to be taken too seriously. View all posts by BobBoyd
