I sometimes feel I'm alone in the dark;
with nothing but blind faith to guide my way.
Yet, I reject religions and their Gods,
I don't need pompous rituals to pray.
I believe in spirituality;
death's not the end of life; it's part of it.
But religion focuses upon sin
and damnation to get souls to submit.
God does not liquefy a dead saint's blood;
or cause porcelain idols to drink milk.
But religious leaders pretend He does,
adorning their icons with gold and silk.
I believe that human souls cannot die;
and yet, religion is a blatant lie.
