Poem: Through and through
28 January 1998
THROUGH AND THROUGH
THROUGH AND THROUGH a Christian? No, but I know many very well a Muslim? No, but with them too I dwell a Buddhist? No, but their truths live and tell a Jew? No, but into them as well I meld FOR ALL OF THOSE you see, are integral parts of me: I CANNOT AGREE with Christians, Muslims Buddhists and Jews entirely, but where and when I can, I do so happily. THAT IS WHO I AM ... and will always be; perhaps you should not ask me about my Humanist, Capitalist and Socialist views ... because I am (a good deal) of all of them, THROUGH AND THROUGH
