Be Religious Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

Adhere religiously to norms
imposed by an abstract entity.
wage war, take vow to shed blood
or even sacrifice life
Yes, be religious, unerringly so.

Let the blood boil with passion,
allow oneself to be wounded
easily for even perceived insults.
Adhere to the principles with
severity like a possessed being.

Be proud about your religious
identity even when you feel
embarrassed about all other
attributes that are yours.
just be religious day in and out.

Never ever allow reason to
raise questions to you.
Mangle sceptical thoughts right
at the point they rear their head.
Be a prisoner of indoctrination.

Religion is the sole means to
salvation and never ask oneself
what exactly salvation is.
take pride in being in an idiot
flaunt your idiocies with vigour.

Don't pause a moment to reflect
why you became religious.
Just believe in the supremacy
of your own religion and look down
upon other religions and opinions.

Be aggressive, be furious to those
who dare to pose doubts.
Pause not even for a moment
till the world is torn to shreds,
Yes be religious, relentlessly so.
