People have religions.
Many, maybe most.
They tell us right and tell us wrong.
They all say we must get along.
There are many, many.
I always show respect.
If you told me you don't eat pork
I would not offer you a fork.
I take off my shoes when I
go into your church.
We both try for all we're worth
to be good people on this earth.

Today we nodded at a priest, an Imam,
a man who wore a robe,
some men
with hats and curly hair.
We showed respect for all they bear.
We're all told the same things,
build up, do not destroy,
look to every grieving soul,
and fill up every single hole.
