God and a drop of oil is one of Charbel Baini's books translated by Maha Bechara

PAGANISM

 -1-

O God, Maker of the whole world,

All Your creations

Have been made through Yourself,

You are incarnate in many things,

Which can be understandable for humans.

-2-

People adored the sun

But You were the light,

People adored the star

But You were just behind.

You blessed the moon with Your hand,

To brighten the lovers' night.

-3-

They adored the bull, for he is big,

For its good and healthy meat.

They adored the fire sparkles

In the air...

To make a volcano.

-4-

They adored the dawn to wipe off the night,

They adored the unseen on the other side.

When a disaster struck them,

They resorted to the other idols.

-5-

They all knew You through Your creations,

Even without seeing You.

They all adored Things to adore You,

Without preaching of religions.
