religious fundamentalism has become the plague of our times
defeating the purpose for which the scriptures were written
all paths reach love, kindness, gentleness and caring
as a child we each were born with these attributes
but somewhere along the way we went astray
so we ask: whose god is the one and only true god
tempers flare, bitter words exchanged, blood is spilled
irony of course being none have seen the god they worship
because if they had, their heart would radiate love, light and bliss
The poor man tidied up
his poor shack for shelter
with sales boards...
It didn't protect him from danger
of the streets,
neither from the sun
or the rain...
There was no private toilet,
nor private life...
In front side of the shack shelter,
an imposing poster announces:
"MANSION FOR SALE" !
In Autumn they met
In Spring they segregate
In Winter they were warm
In Summer they were cold dead
The U.S. Army has embraced Critical Race Theory
Day-long classroom sessions -- dogmatic, dreary
Soldiers' eyelids closing, getting dreary
One is loudly snoring, name of O'Leary
The bell rings, all revive ~ once more cheery
No class tomorrow! Off to War vs. Iran, dearie
