 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Religion


Religion has failed,
yet still we are praying
as faith once more gives reason for war
to fight for a faith,
a God to believe in
to understand just what they died for?

Religion betrayed us,
faith kept us hoping
mankind claimed the holder of light
with churches
with synagogues
with mosques daily chanting
all claiming it's their right to fight.

Religion gave birth,
we are all of faith's children
but only one God,just one God that cries
for all of his children
born of two lovers
with war as their reason to die.
