Not the Religion I Knew

Eugene S.

I won't believe in it
How could you expect me to

It is convincing, I have to say
In all the things that we must do

But why do I have this inkling
That something is blocking the view

Could it be the politicians
All the convenient words they spew

Or how about the lawyers
Laying the foundations askew

Maybe we could throw in some salesmen
To tally the debt that's due

(Sorry about my sarcasm
Disliking salesmen is my issue)

Nevertheless, I still don't believe
This religion is simply untrue

There are far too many liars
And Truth is not in their purview

    devoid of any alignment with your theological points
    this was a well written poem
    very insightful and your arguments, well articulated
    thank you, for choosing to share..
    (why not start our own avenue for faith
    a pick and mix buffet, devoid of zealotry and lies
    we choose, knowingly
    eyes - wide: shut! in hope
    that we, alone - be the ones to guess write?!)
    'Let no one, dictate - Anything, to you
    not even, when they poison your waters
    to that childhood naivety, you - long
    to claim back, and include in your
    purview of informed, Awareness...'

      Thank you for reading. Just wanted to make a point in an oblique kinda way. There are more religions in this world than ever before. Interesting, if you think about it, considering how agnostic and even atheistic the new generations tend to portray themselves. I'm just a man like all others. Creating religions, nah - no right, but recognizing a religion when I see it... been practicing!
