Power

John Prophet

Religion is

power,

control,

 nothing

more.

Talking to

God.

Great power!

In the

name of

God.

Power to

control.

Power to

build.

Great cathedrals.

Power to

destroy.

Populations

eradicated.

Control the

masses.

Subjugation.

Submission.

Down on

your knees.

Eyes open.

Life to live.

Death, 

ceasing to exist.

Fear,

death, oblivion.

Great Fear.

No concern,

life after death.

Great relief.

One catch.

Believe as you’re 

told.

Do 

as we say.

Down on your

knees for

eternal salvation.

Says who?

Religion,

great power.

Power to

control!

    I agree with every word. Looking around this site its easy to see how the powerful have corrupted the minds of some who, for reasons which are beyond me, continually spout quasi religious bullshit poetry.
    To what purpose i wonder?
    Good write.
