Love Bears the Only True Witness

By: JANA GREENE

When people say 

you’re “fake”

because you practice 

loving all,

That’s just because 

living out

a love like that 

feels fake to them.

And it feels fake to them,

Because they

cannot find God

outside of the 

red and black words

of ancient texts,

or outside of the 

dogma of men,

(Or outside of themselves.)

An acceptance so broad,

so scandalous,

That’s what will change 

the world,

Just one authentic act

after another.

So live out that love,

Let them think what they will.

But pray they might also

find God one day,

Outside of texts 

(and dogma too.)

Maybe – just maybe –

One fine day, they will even

find God in YOU.
