RELIGION
HISTORICAL
Religions talk of heaven and hell
As where in future we all will dwell.
No prophet’s words are widely read
That fervent followers haven’t spread.
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 your mind.
Of gods and scriptures we find no trace
Among the early hunters of the human race.
Reject not religions of the past.
Change them, and then make them last.
Those who authored scriptures’ pages
Were scientific theorists of bygone ages.
There’s not a single faith indeed
That hasn’t fought with another creed.
