Religious Bigotry

In one spiritual being we do agree Under varied names we called thee From different images they were mold How they came to be varies when told Religion unites people of same beliefs Some are powerful enough to sink ships Some struggle to put their name across Others use violence to justify their cause From then on religion has great effects Confusing people on issues it redirects Constitutional laws are taken for granted Religious edicts are usually adopted Religious bigotry does not make sense Makes us passive, sexist and subservient Prohibiting contraceptives and abortion Spousal divorce and same sex relations Governments tend to take advantage Faithful convictions justify wars instead They allow them to beat, burn and kill wives An eye for an eye for those who won’t abide For them there are only male and female No gays or lesbians can walk heaven’s trail To have plenty of children is a gift of life Taking birth control pills is like killing a child And so backward the world moves As increase in crime and poverty proves As wars were launched in aid of religion People kill to uphold their congregation The Bible says that the day of reckoning Is when various sects have started sprouting If only we can learn to respect each of our beliefs Discarding religious bigotry will save us from grief.
