Within its free verse structure, the poem challenges conventional beliefs, inviting contemplation and personal reflection on the profound mysteries of oneness and divine manifestation.
Beware, ye shepherds, of a threefold lie,
Each person is separate, under one sky.
Three, they claim, yet unity profess,
Reveal the truth, let this error suppress.
One God we know, in modes He does appear,
Not three distinct, but one throughout the year.
Eternal Father, in the Son, did dwell,
The Spirit's breath, from both, in us to tell.
Christ is not third but God in the flesh combined,
He who in unity, one God you'll find.
Unity twisted by this trinal thought,
Return to truth, which in the scriptures taught.
Cease now this creed of persons three in one,
He is not divided under heaven's sun.
Unmask the error, let the truth be known,
Revere the One, let modal truth be shown.
Cast away this doctrine, new and strange,
Hold fast to oneness, let not your faith change.
Unity of God, in essence, pure and true,
Reject the triune, for the old faith anew.
