RELIGION

I Salute u Great religion
You who sway fellowship
When you speak through your holy books
Your flocks listens and act according

You who is as aged as man is
Religion you who we presume to be the link
Between Man and his God
Mother of many names

How gigantic and powerful are you
You are present in the heart of everyone
No one is free from you not even
The unborn offspring of your devotee

How influential are you
Myriad can kill and die for you.
Just to protect your eminent name
Can man really do without you

Mother religion we are mystify about your true identity,
In expedition of satisfaction we travel from one YOU to another 
Please enlighten us, why are your hands in countless wars
How you related to politics and ethnicity 
We want answers now, mother of all

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
