Welcome to Surrender

The sacred covenant devised by cunning minds 

brought to humanity the concept of an authority 

to whom all must heel yet has never produced that 

docile, humble congregation of initiates prepared 

to love their fellow man to ensure a reign of peace 

and mostly because that spirit of faith commands 

heart and soul dedicated to His worship and grace

a focus so intense and narrow there is no space 

left to forge friendships with those sharing 

inhabitancy of a finite world in which live tribes 

and clans whose surrender to God's commanding 

presence is faulted by the truly orthodox, as 

scrolls from antiquity attest when initiates must 

pass the test of self-abnegation to the greatness 

of the Creator and abjure communion with all 

but those of the sacred commune whose duty 

every waking hour is to praise the Almighty and 

scrutinize with fervour and favour the texts 

detailing the obligations of the faithful. The great 

kindly god of peace and good fellowship calling 

upon His suppliants to distance themselves from 

sinful non-believers describes them as dross the 

faithful are obliged to convert though refusal to 

acknowledge that Supreme Divinity gives just

cause to withdraw life from the unworthy. Those

ignorant of the covenant of grace and purity err in

their horrorstruck definition of the piety of jihad to

name it terrorism when it is merely a symbol of 

God's merciful forgiveness, willing to embrace 

all humanity into the capacious splendour of that 

Supreme Being's burgeoning halls of worship.
