Great Maker beyond
human knowledge.
Our time is short.
Our knowledge finite.
Reality infinite.
We struggle
to understand.
We create
structure
to make it so.
We build
and grow
the best we can.
It’s a struggle
every day you know.
We are born
one day
and there it is.
How to make
sense
we struggle to do.
We organize
come together in groups.
We create
systems
to see us through
Political,
language,
business,
social
and religious
to name just a few.
Each system
designed
to meet a
need.
Each system
gives us
structure,
something to help
us through.
Helps us make
sense,
gives us control
in our
finite
little place.
Religion
as with government
is a process of control.
Religion
is a philosophy,
nothing more,
as the
Great Maker’s
mind is beyond
ours to know.
There are those
who say
they understand
because
the Great Maker
told them so.
That’s impossible
you see,
the Great Maker’s
mind
for us is
impossible
to know.

Great thoughts expressed in this fine piece, JG. I agree what you say about religion just being a philosophy ... a not well thought out one at that.
Hi Louis,
Thank you for reading my work.
Yup, modern religion is just the evolutionary growth of ancient primitive belief systems. These belief systems were generate by those living in caves or mud huts. We today as we enter the 21st century follow blindly just as those who flocked around ancient Myan pyramids bowing to the Myan priests.
