Humanity

When humanity
became aware,
the world was
a scary
dangerous place.
Everything
was a mystery,
nothing but
survival at stake.
We
created gods
to help us
make sense.
Gods
became the catchall
to explain the
unknown.
Gods
became religions
to hold things
in place,
to offer control.
Due to human
isolation,
religions evolved
differently
all over the place.
From the gods
in Valhalla
to the ones
in the sea.
We
all had different
ideas
of what the gods
must truly be.
Religious wars
down through the ages
killing
millions
in the name of
god,
what a disgrace.
Humanity is spread
around the globe,
hundreds of religions
all over the place.
Killing,
still
to this day
because
god
wants it that way
some would have
you believe.
The naivety
of humanity
just stunning to see.
No one
truly knows
the Creators
intent,
though many religions
would tell you
they do.
Power
and control
is all
they really
know.
The few
telling
the many
what to believe.
The world
can no longer
go on
in this way.
Religions are constructs
made up
in human minds,
difference
due to many things.
Somehow I wonder
if
the Creator
would want to see
us behave
in this way.
One wonders
if
the Creator
has turned away
after seeing
what we’ve done
to each other
and our place.
As we move forward
in time
business
as usual
will only enhance
our disgrace.
Humanity
must unite
under one
common theme,
humanity
for humanity’s sake
it must be.
We must grow
and mature
as soon
as we can.
Treating each other
and our world
with respect
and dignity.
There are many
who would smile
and call this
naive.
We
must smile in return
at their immaturity,
realizing
their way is now
done,
from here
a dead end.
Would the creator
be displeased
if we evolved
in this way?
How
could that possibly be?
