- No prophet’s words are widely read
That fervent admirers haven’t spread. - Religions talk of heaven and hell
As where in future we all will dwell. - Religions begin to degenerate
When all they do is God venerate. - Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses
Did more than eat and sleep like the rest of us. - When humans hunted and lived in caves
They had no priests or rites, or even graves. - Pure truth in religion if you wish to find
Keep all history out of mind. - Of gods and scriptures we find no trace
Among the pristine hunters of the human race. - Instead of rejecting religions of the past.
Change them, and then make them last. - Who authored sacred scriptures’ pages
Were scientific theorists of bygone ages. - There’s not a single faith indeed
That hasn’t fought with another creed.
