A fork in the road

A fork in the road                                                                                      
 
The planet earth is uninhabited.
No one afoot in the whole wide world.
 
All the heroes we cheer and encourage,
all the villains we jeer and detest, are God.
 
You and I, on our precarious,
 judgmental perches, are God.
 
God alone exists, said Meher.  We can’t
realize the truth of that statement
 
but we might accept it on faith.  
Which brings us to a fork in the road –
 
either we live by that faith or we live
by the assumptions we’ve been taught
 
since the day of our birth concerning the true
nature of our world, ourselves, our Maker.
 
O child of God, Jesus said no one can serve two masters.
You will hold to one and despise the other.
