Not Religious....Sorry...... Poem by karen sinclair

Not Religious....Sorry......

Rating: 5.0


I love trying to write
I love my poetic friends
I love my children
My pet guinea-pigs, Keith and Dandelion
Green tea
And any coloured vegetable (cause i have too)

My man
My new flowery wellies
The bees that scare me to run
Saturdays throng
Sundays silence
What i do not love is being lectured continually about religion

I loved god and lost my sister
Thats (my truth) and Im sorry

We are all cut from a different cloth (and mine frayed)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I just feel ostracised due to choosing not to believe...

i hug trees they make me happy..
.
i do not judge anyone and respect (all) faiths...

i wish i had that same respect....

maybe im simply too honest for my own good...

PLease no religious lectures.... I've had a belly full...

I'm a non-believer too Karen, and the more I live life the more my views are reinforced. We are all free to think what we want and should never feel ostracized for this. Very good write.

Here, here! People have the right and freedom to choose their own path in life without being judged or descriminated against. However, we must forgive some due to the inherent bigotry and hatred imbedded in all religion stemming from a moneithstic belief in each that there's is the one true way and intrinsically the contradiction creates a paradox that none can prove or dispell. Also the condescension of all religion to tell people how to live their lives based on fear and prejudice.  Here's an idea let each individual learn to think for themselves.  It is better never to argue with dogs or idiots. As this will drain all remaining years and life energy, and to no avail.
