• Religion

    Religion; ideas ready-made.
    A bundle of laws,
    Blueprints of life --
    A guide from birth
    To graveyard.

    The pagans hiss;
    Monks roar their sermons;
    The crowd follows
    Safest, they choose.

    Mask the unknown
    With a veil of tales;
    Ignore the doubts
    And live, reassured.

    Blinded by faith
    It is secure
    ‘Till truth come a-gazing --
    And lo, curtains open.

    Making new covers
    Like closing doors
    Run away;
    Leave facts behind.

    Preachers preach,
    Prayers pray;
    It comforts.
    Religion keeps you safe.
