Damnation

You might not like it you may not agree But religion’s the problem the real enemy A blind ideology that kills to maintain A false image of God to blaspheme and profane The Koran—the Crusades the excuses—the lies Fanatical visions the death they imply The future will judge what the present impales The shame and the heartbreak humanity failed As ill-fated dogma kills the innocent child The real God enrages his judgment on file So spew out your maxims and dig in your heels As millions will die for what you think you feel The universe watches eternity waits For this plague to be over —this damned human race (Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)
