A Very Touchy Subject

My thoughts on RELIGION.

For a reason unknown to me,
Others always cite the fact of my religion!
I am shunned, dismembered, and thrown away.
My life is merely smidgen.
It must just be a very touchy subject.

For a reason unknown to me,
Others are disgusted with my body, my self.
Can’t I just be who I am?
Learn about me and accept it- Inconvenience yourself!
I guess it’s a very touchy subject.

For a reason unknown to me,
Others spit upon science.
Everything comes from something, so a little must be true.
He, you must put all of your reliance?
Wow, a very touchy subject.

For a reason unknown to me,
Others ask a question, bias upon one answer,
And when I say what they do not want to hear,
They look at me as a personal cancer!
Shouldn’t be a very touchy subject!

For a reason known to me,
Others are ignorant.
I am who I am and will not change.
I am not one that speaks of cant,
A very touchy subject that I have to live with every day.

great poem! I loved it. It was deep and moving and flowed well. I can relate to it, mostly because I don't understand religion and my "religion" isn't a religion at all. I'm a Scientologist and people bash on me for it all the time. NO I DON'T WORSHIP TOM CRUISE! (I hear that a lot btw) thank you very much for this poem. I look forward to your other writes.

I can relate with that. Very beautiful!

Thanks for your submission.

I like this a lot! Great way to address a " Touchy Subject ". Keep it up!!!

I like this a lot--I like the way the refrain, touchy subject, keeps coming back, and I like the unxpected rhyme in the first verse. Very Good Work! I have nothing critical to say--it is very musical. Feel that way sometimes myself.
