Copla Cuarenta Y Cuatro This Bad Guy World

COPLA CUARENTA Y CUATRO: This Bad Guy World Animals mammals kill to eat Thinking animals kill humans: For their own gods Most of all those who One god feat Turn on themselves with blasting guns: Schizophrenic gods No founders of religion wrote The words attributed to them: Holy hearsay* Clergies interpret arrogate Late remembered words post mortem: If gods could pray… *Note: Excepting Taoism, but then the "Tao Te Ching" is a philosophy, a way of life, a commentary. Lao Tse, the "founder-author" was prevented from leaving the province/country unless he left behind his "wisdom" which he then composed in 5000 characters, the source of the "religion" as it is practised today. © T.
