THE UMBRELLA

 

Religion is an umbrella 
for the poor who seeks
eternal comfort, and 
neglect their earthly realities. 

Religious canopies 
have sucked the poor dry, 
leaving them to face eternal
reward, when their souls are
laughing at their foolishness.

The rich seems to understand
the tenets of religion,
On daily basis they advertise their follies, and the gullibles clap their hands in appreciation.

If religion is not divorced,
then many will be baptized 
in foolishness, 
And the world will never know peace. 

Peace comes from knowing
the truth, the truth that religion 
is a canopy of enslavement, 
On the Cross, the world will find peace.
