How religion and or politics can consume us.
RELITICAL


They say you’ve been misled and it’s too bad.
I beg to differ if I may because I happen
to see the situation in a different way.

The God’s, Prophets and leaders of many dictate
the moral code, keeping all who listen to
them in their abode.  Adhered to some relitical
code.

The deceit and lies, such ignorance blinds
our eyes simply because we lack a constitution
that is deep within to guide us away from
relitical spins.

The deadliest atrocities of all times near
and far were committed with the intention
of creating a relitical scar.  Long remember
and work to resist falling in line with the
adherents of relitical bliss

As an empty vessel that has now become filled
the newly converted now spew out the same
relitical spiel.

The knowledge, which we acquire, helps to douse
the fires of Relitical persuasion.  True wisdom
and understanding will offer a new equation.
