For True Believers
Copyright: Joseph Raglione
They could not explain Eternity
Though they certainly tried.
But could not explain Eternity
And so they lied!
They lied about Eternity
And were so very good,
They created fraternities of True Believers
Who would follow them as only True Believers would.
And pods of imaginary Gods to terrify those who should,
According to them, be True Believers...
And believe in Them or face the wrath of their
Omnipotent Gods!
With strife and damnation and pain for none believers,
A Supreme Being will never deign to explain creation
To foolish sinners here on Earth...
But if YOU obey without question,
Follow orders without disruption...
The Gods will heap rewards upon YOU in the
Afterlife!
Obey the Gods and they will gladly explain creation to you
After your dead...
But will only give mercy and love to you
While you live...
If you are a True Believer.
Mao Tse Tung, the Chinese Communist leader, was wrong!
ReplyDeleteReligion is not a poison if it brings out the best in people. Unfortunately, it often leads good people to follow and obey bad people like Sheep to the slaughter. The same goes for nationalism.
