Strong(026) Faith In Futility/Strong Poem by Danny Reynolds
Strong(026) Faith In Futility/Strong
Another sacred cow has just gone mad
Another failed fanatic waits in line
Another mother guards the tears she had
Another river bleeds in triple time
So long as the naïve are taught by fear
Traditions which turn fiction into fact
How long before humanity appears
To show, God and the Devil have a pact
A pact that only splits us, and divides
Gives cause to kill, for glory be to….what?
If dogmas sway, like fashions on man’s tides
While each believe, they’re something they are not.
Perhaps the gods of war will one day tire
When every bullet’s programmed to backfire?
Great sonnet! If only religion were really the opiate of the people, as Marx said. Instead, it is the PCP of the people, more often than not. -chuck
Very profound words Danny, how many wars are fought in the name of religion? Too many, well said, Lynda x
D oing things with faith a magnanimous consecration! n one is force to believe n o one is oblige to act y es, each one has freewill!
