Religion be Damned

 
I saw their souls, their souls were whole
I saw their religion, it was divisive
My way is right they said
Ergo everyone else must be wrong
Same reason for killing
Same old song

Think ye then that your god is so small
So narrow that he/she built but one path to the well?
Do tell, your dogma denies you the power of thought
The priests of perdition ought
To cast aside all pride
Rejoice with one voice

We are but microbes on a grain of sand
Spinning on an endless beach eternally
So, beg, beseech, howl, screech
It will avail you nought
Life cannot be bought
By mumbled prayers, who cares?

Evolve then beyond religion
Superstition leads to perdition
The hell of the mind for those too blind
To see that three thousand religions
Since the dawn of time
Have not erased humanity’s slime

Wherein we squander our spirit
Give sway to ego’s way
Join then with brothers of all nations
Cast out the warmongers
Heal the sick feed the poor and your
The soul will be saved, no longer enslaved.
