Beliefs Sometimes

Beliefs Sometimes By Franklin Price 4/29/2015 Beliefs sometimes all consuming Denying every other view Has been so since antiquity Is really nothing new What I believe is only right What you believe untrue I'll fight you to the very death Make you believe it too Now doesn't that sound foolish What you believe is you Only mathematics and sometimes science Are all that's proven true Religion is a choice we make Our Gods or not our own And when we die go somewhere else Or lie in our graves alone Politics are much the same Control the way live How we exist with others How we take and give Forcing others to believe By proving right with might Does nothing but cause discord And is asking for a fight Let others believe in what they will None at all should force the others Mankind on Earth should get along For all of us are brothers Getting along is thought by many Practicing is such a fuss If the majority were practicing There could be peace on Earth for us

An awesome point of view and I enjoyed it so very much. Right is right and wrong is wrong no matter who's point of view it is, I have always been told. I think I like the way you put it so much better. Awesome write, Franklin. It's a 7 for me and a fav.....Sharon G.
