Why I Am Not A Christian Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Why I Am Not A Christian

Rating: 4.0


About a decade had passed
Bertrand Russell had written
Why I Am Not a Christian
In 1957

It was an Essay
An effort to perform or attempt
A French Word
In writing

'In God we trust'
That was an official motto
In USA replacing 1782
In 1956

Revolutions
Bravely speaking out
Even against the God
Against the Lord

But he was also against
Mass production
Globalization
Slavery

The world’s need for needle
Is limited so if...
The question was
What if...?

What if machine fulfills
A year’s need
In a day
What then?

Unemployment
Jobless machine
He said and...And?
His comment fell on deaf ears

Ownership of wealth is
99% holding one percent
And One percent 99%
Get ready for disaster...

Read you poem a few times. Don't worry about your detrators. This isn't plagiarism; your facts are common knowledge, like The Lord's Prayer. Like the minimalistic style.

P2 Elite greed in contrast makes wealth money their God and justifies exploiting workers and the poor. Interesting data.

P1 The truth is worse,0.01% owns and controls 99.99% of all wealth. Christians according to research I have read, and others believing in God, give more of their income and wealth to charity and people suffering?

1% of the world‘S population owns 99% of the total wealth.what does that mean? Remaining 99% of the population own just 1% of the resources, leaving most of them in abject poverty.

My dear colleague, not only the 1% are the problem that the 99% too, adds to the problem by obeying in any name or excuse...need or...

A great thought provoking poem. Religion is a choice so just because he has a different view does not make his poem plagiarism.
