Waste And Void

A long time ago
People created
Stories and myths
To understand the mystery
The rise of sun and moon
The growing of the wheat

But then
In some dark moment of need

Someone decided the stories were
Absolutely, undeniably True
And ever since
The blood of millions shed
In sacrifice
Of unholy ideas to

Conquer and control.

~ Laurence Overmire

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Very true. "God was created by man" may seem blasphemous, but it is true. As Karl Marx said ‘Religion is opium of the people"
