Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Ramadan, which begins on April 13.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A poem for Ramadan about the need for righteous behavior to sustain faith:
Righteousness remains the rock of faith,
As what one does sustains what one believes.
Mere hypocrites might pray, the Prophet saith;
Actions must be words the heart conceives.
Do, then, what acts and rituals are due,
As faith becomes a flame that feeds on you,
No less than as a fire consumes dry
leaves.
