Love Letter To Religion

no religion need be named 
they all have the same aim
to silence free will 
and make us tame
to manipulate 
and segregate
spreading lies and hate 
he watches you and commands us what to do 
twisted tongues spread their hate
nothing divine has come from thee
don't be their slave
be what you know to be 
a great and loving 
human

B. Fields, wow! And this is a better certain way to say that religion is a lie.. no matter the name... religion has a lot to do with the world today.. tragic and all ... wow it! is interesting how religion controls the uneducated masses like myself... But, I'm freeing my mind and living this century free falling.... this is an awesome poem,..p.d.
