Delusions

"Religion is thus not based on fact nor on truth, but self-delusion"

call to him
and scream his name
you choose
to use him as a crutch
but the truth you seek
is all to much

" is that truth? what you believe to be true, or just a false hope that someone will save you"

listen to the preacher lies
when he tells you he cares
listen as the world dies
and your money you must share..

"Amen pass the money down, amen watch as you become the clown"

fear is what made you
hope to what you think will save you
is it not enough what life gave you
let the lies of another betray you

"faith flows from fear and from ignorance and hope"

so with your books you plead
and in these lies you believe
im sorry that your deceived
for the false ideas you conceive

"religion is not based on fact nor truth, but rather self delusion."

deceive and die
believe.. why
 for you conceived this lie

Author's Note

judge me, scream at me, try to convince me you will do naught, your lies have been discovered, and that's all that you've got.

You are an amazing writer. Seriously. Patheticly enough, all of my poetry is of a spiritual nature. But I find my poems garbage when I read yours. I find faith garbage. Oh so you know, I do not beleive in religion, and find the worlds books outdated and dusty. We really make your own truth. Youre poems are strong and full of real points, and real observations. And I shrink from even claiming any truth with such strong imagery as yours. Crowns go off to you, hail, hail!!!
