Religion Poem by segun Johnson Ozique

Religion



As the world recline, eyes closing, feet up
Grows an enterprise couched to dehumanize being
Spinning sugary coated pills made to hack, devalue
Identity: Churning tales of wisdom in mould that
Good life is in cyst, in element to be determined
By the measure of growth, progress and survival
Within a space of how much any status is worth:
Trimming and shredding all values of affections
Dunking freedom-seeking leisure and understanding
Plugging emotional motif of dedication and respect
Metering security, autonomy, protection, preference:
Mores dumped, gone to basement; bankrupt, worthless
Meet to the new defining characteristics of education
Masked by a dagger consumerist centered toxicities
Fueled by unbridled insatiable ordered sumptuousness
A crazy domino wildfire engulfing and razing the world
To which too much blood would be needed to put out;
To stop the rotten baton being passed to those to come
