Doesn't it make you sick?

Religion has given nothing,
but WAR.
It has installed hatred
where common sense would offer
a non-committal acceptance of reality-
Collectives invade their assumed enemies
with hatred and malice,
whilst the preachers cry out
about the return of Christ.

Doesn't it all make you fucking sick?

Women hiding their faces.
Children being force fed
fire and brimstone deserts.
Literature that attempts
to keep the world
thousands of years old:
Too stubborn to progress.

Doesn't it all make you sick?

And whilst the free-thinking athiest
shakes their head
knowing that it is too late;
they are contending with hundreds of decades
of bullshit.
The religionist curses back:
Scolding the individual's
ability to live for oneself.
They cry out
against all aspects of self.
They are a uniformed army
led by their gullability and desperation.
Because, my dearest deist,
that is all you have.
