Weathered by age and perpetrated by the
wagon of belief,
The Wheel traverses the eras of civilization;
Each spoke telling its own, unique story
Of the Driver himself and the
Lengths to which he goes to keep the wagon
From running astray.
But each spoke stems from the same bore,
Each spoke connects to the same Wheel.
The trials of time have proved the Wheel
treacherous,
As each spoke rises and falls from bottom to top,
Those in its path are helplessly crushed,
No matter their allegiance to whichever spoke.
How unfortunate that no one knew that
Each spoke connects to the same Wheel.
Many subscribe to the goods of the wagon
and the spokes
That turn the Wheel delivering them.
They thank the Driver for
Turning the Wheel, for exposing their spoke,
But little do they know that
Each spoke stems from the same bore, and
Each spoke connects to the same Wheel.

The recent religiously-motivated attacks in the world have prompted me to write about the unrealized similarity between all religions.
