Believe It Or Not
Religion is a funny thing
worshipping a name,
interpreted in different ways
but basically the same.
The rules are from an ancient book
which tells you what to do,
all questions sent to heaven
but the answers come from you.
Most advocating peace and love
throughout the human race,
so clearly there is something wrong
for this is not the case.
Our greatest gift is life itself
to be allowed to live,
and saying thank you now and then
does not seem much to give.
Whatever we believe in
a lesson should be learned,
life is a special gift to you
not meant to be returned.
