Save the Past-Social Commentary

you see, he grabs what he can get
that bearded fellow in the sky
because its the future and we forget
for what once people gave their life

everyone seems to forget
the bible was a book of philosophy
changed in the past for illiterate peasants
but it still carries the same meaning along
remember the cruisades? 

i see those who hold their ground despite
the people poking holes in religious logic
i never do so,
because those holes are wounds in a past societys body

take away religion, you take away whole civilizations.
though i am not religious i have come to understand
 that people should just get used to it.
