I’m not religious,
Gave up religion,
Saw it’s futility
Visualised rituals’
Reality
Empty preachings
Biased teachings
Justifying wrong deeds
Condemning all
Corporal needs
Now I think
What I did was right
When I see
The gruesome sight
Of blood and gore
Dead and maimed
And much more
Tearful eyes
Heart rending cries
All that happening
In the name of God
I cannot be
A part of this fraud
If terror emanates
From a book
That must have been
Inked by a crook
I find it superfluous
I’m not at all religious
