For six short hours on Wednesday night<BR>
I witnessed a strange and unusual sight--<BR>
Where different people from different places<BR>
Were not obsessed with their different races--<BR>
And no one there was segregated,<BR>
For by the Faith they were related.<BR>
<P><BR></P>
While others proclaim that God is Dead,<BR>
They spoke of His Glory, and what He said--<BR>
The promise for man, and his ultimate fate--<BR>
While the rest of the world continued to hate.<BR>
<P><BR></P>
They spoke of love and the Oneness of man<BR>
While seeds of mistrust darken the land;<BR>
Yet from the shadows of despair in this dark,<BR>
They offered to me their Light, and their Ark.<BR>
