Religions of Misery

Organised religions
 So which one is true?
Are they a man made manipulation?
 For power and false truths

Are they a money making conspiracy
 Creating an uncomfortable society?
This remains a mystery to me

Hatred and wars are caused
Through extremist sects
 Of so called peaceful religions
Or maybe there’s something more
 Of which I need to see

Don’t get me wrong religion brings comfort
  Hope and love and light
But how can you live true to the scriptures 
Without some form of hypocrisy

Just to be forgiven through prayer
 And your sins you repent
Surely positive actions
 Speak louder than simple words

My personal believe
 Is be open to possibilities we create in our mind
A personal thought process
As long as you treat others
