The Rot Has Sunk In Deep

Religious sermons invoking deep fear damage the fabric of gullible souls, inducing deluded beliefs that sears, labelling God as a revengeful ghoul; far cry from touch of love, making us whole. The rot of religion has sunk in deep. The path is easy; preachers make it steep. Reject, oh hermit, teachings that contract. Gods love alone real and in all hearts seeps, which purity of heart, gently attracts. 06-February-2021

I like this poem a lot. It reflects what so many of us believe now, who were once caught up in "the rot of religion." Nicely-written with rhymes that do not detract from the poems theme.
