Organized Religion
Why are some religions so full of judgmental hate?
Certain groups claim they are right, then point their fingers and negate.
A certain few must go to heaven, and the rest will burn in hell.
I think many will be surprised when they hear that final bell.
A French teacher was beheaded for showing a certain religious cartoon.
A young man was brutally murdered, for the rainbow colors on his balloon.
Women are treated like animals, children are raped and beaten to death.
All in the name of their God, blasphemy spewed in many a breath.
I guess for me, I will just follow my heart.
I’ll do my best to build and not tear apart.
I will protect those I love this I will do with an iron fist.
I’ll do what I can so we can peacefully coexist.
Judge lest ye be judged, please don’t pass judgement on others.
He will judge you with the same measure you judge your brother.
For those of you who notice that speck in others eyes.
Take stock of your own, so you are not one day surprised.
