RELIGION

I brought the wise men to mine eyes to read that I may see Beliefs and fears and outright lies of life's great mystery In learning years I held my say to await the savant's call To clear my mind and find the way, the truth that answers all I looked and longed that I may find the path that sets one free Yet still was chained for faith so blind could shed no light for me Deliverance was not my gain if there is such a thing But pious paragons I disdain who preach then loose their sting And as I rest, my days but gone, and think what life's about I wonder at these souls who shone and prayed through devilled doubt. Heavens and hells, chimes and bells of high theocracy Don't ring for me for all I see is rank hypocrisy. Don't ring for me for all I see is rank hypocrisy.
