Religion

Religion

A Poem by Paul

 

From where did we embrace this religion

That has covered our eyes with such darkness?

Now our problems are a legion

And has got no name than backwardness

 

Didn’t   they say it would make us wise

And open our eyes to see the light.

Didn’t they say it would make us rise

And give our thoughts wings of flight?

 

Both old and young are drunk of it.

This religion has locked their heads

And all of them are in  a fit

Sleeping their lives in idle beds.

 

What has happened to our reason

That everyone in different bands

Are marching their future to prison

And in religion’s name have folded their hands.
