RELIGION WILL NEVER

Thomas J. Dooley

 

 

Thoughts that are not my own

An inheritance for the soul

This made me feel all alone.

 

What religion will never know

Is the truth of the soul

How to become whole

 

A belief that segregated me

Religion never set me free.

Living beneath everybody

 

What religion will never see

Kindness is not the intent but only condemn

A community ego fills the ATM.

 

A spiritual movement stalled by the ego

Where are Thurman, King, and Gandhi today

Hear the weeping sister at the wall as she would pray

 

What religion will never hear

The voice of inner pain and fear

Without true light, the path isn't clear.

 

Declaring a path with no direction

Never arriving at the destination.

Living in a cage in a free nation

    Very true words Thomas, your own spirit is the only god that will know who you are.
