Alone In The Dark
Sometimes, I feel I'm alone in the dark;
with only blind faith to help guide my way.
For 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, religions are a blatant lie.
