The Depths of Hell

Religious woes has it’s foes 
and often faiths are glitter
Promise success and happiness 
depending on who delivers
Some paint prejudice with broad strokes 
exclusion is the main ideal
Skin color, race, sexuality mostly
not what you think is clear
The job with god seems really odd 
when asked to slither throats
Or to gather all the enemies 
and deliver their heads on post 
They think it best when you dress 
in cloths they deliver
How many wives is compromised 
by men their god considered
Their foods are different, women different, 
no touching there’s to be
Observe the days and sometimes weeks 
just for sake of memory
Remember the names dressed in fame 
For future reference to their figures
Listen to the leader and remember 
that his word is the law delivered
Do not read any literature 
or any other translations
Never question authority 
if doubts disturbs your quiver
What’s in the home stays at home 
and silence secret listeners
And if you find the different kinds
that doubt our salvation delivers
Turn your backs for they’re the quacks
Your told to never consider




(To whom shall remain a clut and nothing else)

A powerful write. There are man's laws and then there are God's laws. Religions can have many of man laws in it and not many if any of God's laws in it. Have a very blessed day writing away............

Yes, many religions are utter crap. It is up to us to make sure we do not fall for their lies. Wisdom is needed and then used to weed out the bad my friend. Fine poem for me. A fav. God bless Jon.
