This is the first post in quite a while.
Recently, I was thinking about the significance of the Trinity, and I wrote a poem on the subject. I don't know if it's very good, but I tried. Here it is:
One in Three
"One God above!" Mohammed cried.
The sun blazed down, the sands were wide.
"A God alone, merciful but just,
Far above his creatures in the dust.
"A God of love," the bishop said.
He poured the wine and broke the bread.
"In God himself, one loves another.
"So we should love, each man his brother."
Mohammed said, "How can it be,
"That God is one and also three?
"Who has no wife can have no son.
"Yes, God has love, but God is one."
"This mystery we can't understand."
The bishop gave Christ from his hand.
"That God himself is family,
"In one being, yet persons three."
"If God is love in very nature,
"Before our God made any creature,
"Who then was there for Him to love?
"Only Father, Son, and Spirit dove."
Mohammed's men roared like the sea.
"These pagans worship gods of three!"
The God Alone swept o'er the world.
Through Christendom his armies swirled.
The bishop raised his arms and cried,
"For us our God was crucified.
"For him we now shall lift the sword.
"We will not serve this lonely lord!"
"For Three in One, to the attack!"
"The God of Love!" the knights roared back.
From woods to sands was stained with red.
The smoke of war rose overhead.
And still the battle rages on,
With pen and pulpit, gun and bomb.
"Why should we fight?" the people groan.
"For God in three or God alone?"
"A God of love alone we need;
"We do not want this threesome creed."
"A God of love does not want war.
"Now let us fight for him no more!"
Yet knights and bishop still declare,
"Before you do this, have a care.
"See now their One God, high above.
"Can you call him a God of love?"
"Within the God of Trinity
"The very Being of love we see.
"For this we fight for God above.
"Who would not fight for Greatest Love?"
