Who benefits from my belief?

Who benefits from my belief? Because the last I checked it wasn't me I mean I am a black girl Living In a racist misogynistic world Because why would I worship a god who allowed my people to suffer Yet caters to the needs of our oppressors Allows them to call us s Why would I believe Why would I worship Why would I pray To a god who ignored my ancestors Please go ahead Make me understand How your god created this world But allows racism So tell me how religion benefits a black person Because to me and many others It seems like a weapon To keep us broken In a world that sees us as subhuman As 'god' watches us suffer Whilst having the power To fix this problem So I ask again Who benefits from my belief The only correct answer Is those who don't look like me So why would I subscribe To a religion To a god Who clearly hates me
