The Fatality Of Religion

Cathedral Mosque

or Synagogue

their masquerade

the same

Preaching what

they don’t believe

the Good Lord

to profane

Christians Jews

and Muslims share

their hate for

other faiths

Self-righteous ire

scriptures burn

as blood flows

through the gate

Colleges and

social networks

homes where they

blaspheme

Younger hearts

and narrow minds

starving

to believe

The clock ticks down

as options die

in zero sum

degrees

The vilest thing

to haunt the earth

breeds death

— with each decree

(Dreamsleep: April, 2024)
