Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

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
