Each holy man there is, is
convinced he's better than the next,
as his right hand tightly clasps
prayer beads, whilst he judges others with his left.
Piety the reason that he wakes up
every day,
just to forget that only God can
judge, even if someone is gay.
Whether devoted to the gospel or
in submission to the Muslim holy book,
many of these zealots cannot be
told apart from crooks.
Their lies are so often inspired
by an agenda that remains hidden
amongst claims they will be
forgiven for each slip, no matter how forbidden.
Living in the future, they are
consumed with the afterlife,
but it is so convenient to forget
the rules every time they take another wife.
These hypocrites misinterpret
ancient words however they see fit,
when the truth holds no advantage
from which they could somehow profit.
Wars have been fought over less
than a few acres of land,
both sides convinced the blood
was spilled as part of their God's plan.
Self-righteousness surrounds us,
humanity has ceased to exist,
replaced by laws made by hateful
pastors and religious nuts like Kim Davis or ISIS.
Who can say that religion has
done less harm than good,
when it can be held responsible
for divided neighbourhoods?
When practiced with humility, it
can be a beautiful thing;
praised for the prosperity it
brings, and turned to for guidance in times of suffering.
But more often than not, Ten
Commandments are ignored whenever we commit seven deadly sins,
we are so conscious of all our
imperfections but ignorant of our blessings.
False prophets preaching in the
streets take advantage of our desperation for something to believe in;
the confidence with which they
spread their ignorance is rarely seen as deceiving.
Mankind will only survive this
state of emergency if we unlearn all that we know,
once we accept that religion
hinders us more than it helps us grow.
There is nothing wrong with
having a little faith,
if it inspires love and does not
advocate messages filled with hate.
God has no religion. There is no more need for these unholy wars,
let us not be so insecure that
any offense is one worth fighting for.
Muslim, Christian, Hindu, or Jew;
there will always be power in numbers,
lest we forget that before our
dogma divided us, we lived together as sisters and brothers.
