RELIGION MY VIEW

POETRY

Religion is my name confusion is my game I seek control

Of all your souls keep most of you in menial roles 

In ignorance fear and shame, you only have yourselves to blame

You gave me this power from the beginning

And have allowed me to keep on sinning, look around

I am the srongest law the instigater of all wars,

feel my power I wield it strong death and destruction,

Are my song, great churches you have built  for me

I live in the lap of luxury, on my walls fine tapestries hang

I am the richest in every land, it serves me well to keep you meek

So I can carry on with my deceit, which is at my very core.

Your ten percent comes in very handy, for I am also very randy

I sodomise and I rape, and from you your money I take,

I've been caught out many times committing

All these henious crimes, and yet you still let me carry on

Paying me homage and singing my song.

I'll always reign I am the original sinner

Your ignorance makes me the sinner, upon the mill

Your soul I will break until you awake from your

Catatonic state and realise that i only exist because of you.

I do my best to stay away from religion. Religion has been the reason for war and hate for too long. I like the strong points made in your poem. I believe religion should be personal and private. Complete poem were honest and strong words. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

Wow.........POWERFUL and every word screams with truth!I have had this view for some years, all the power the churches have, the vatican........and yet they allow such poverty under their own noses, and now we know of the awful rapes..........you have written such a great piece! Now I just pray to God from my pillow and I am sure he understands why.

I hope I'm interpreting this correctly, and if I am, then we share very similar views. In short, the world is full of "religious" people, but that doesn't mean they're in any way made good by it. Far too many use religion to justify terrible deeds. They are haters, but claim that God gives them license to do so. Well, the God I believe in does not hate, does not condone war or prejudice or narrow-mindedness. My God wants us to love one another and get along.

And no one can save you from error or sin, until you have hark'd to the spirit within. speak to god direct , your own body is your own temple. your home your own church. Moonbeam.
