Losing My Religion
Losing My Religion
There is no copyright on God
It’s a free for all game
All taking a different route
But the ending is the same
Babies drinking scripture
In their mother’s milk
Buddhists shaving their head
In robes of orange silk
Distorted thinking
Insisting God is a warmonger
Murdering innocents
For a life to be lived longer
Women as second class citizens
Covered head to toe
Honor killings and sexual mutilation
With nowhere to go
Men insisting women
Be exemplary in dress
Wigs must be worn
Why? is anyone’s guess
Cajoled into thinking
This way is better
Hatred for the others
In a poison pen letter
Fear-based religion
With a death toll of shame
A Deteriorating social structure
Continuing to Inflame
Search within for guidance
Don’t be persuaded by others
Your sprit will guide you
It will not be smothered

Game On
Just a game to you
You played because you could
Your unfiltered words and actions
a green light to those who contained
their hatred
No thought or dedication
or ability to multitask
Let alone read
Communication skills nonexistent
Your statistics will be great indeed
Destined for the history books
Headlining
The Biggest loser of all time
You are the antithesis of a hero
Orange is the new black
and you will wear it well
