Jg Collins Poet Prose Poetry

Power

Religion is
power,
control,
 nothing
more.
Talking to
God.
Great power!
In the
name of
God.
Power to
control.
Power to
build.
Great cathedrals.
Power to
destroy.
Populations
eradicated.
Control the
masses.
Subjugation.
Submission.
Down on
your knees.
Eyes open.
Life to live.
Death, 
ceasing to exist.
Fear,
death, oblivion.
Great Fear.
No concern,
life after death.
Great relief.
One catch.
Believe as you’re 
told.
Do 
as we say.
Down on your
knees for
eternal salvation.
Says who?
Religion,
great power.
Power to
control!
