Not many
But a few
In the past
Have said
“Forget what you know”
Or
“Everything you’ve ever learned is wrong.”
.
Well, the world beats what you know
Out of you eventually,
Anyway,
Which is why people turn a fatal disease
Into a political issue,
To reignite their own vocal chords,
If nothing else.
.
But how’s this:
The religious man is addled,
Tense, skittish and pensive,
Proving that religion doesn’t really help anything,
It only deepens people’s shrouds behind which they hide
In a false attempt to cloak their own maladies,
.
OR,
.
The religious man is going through some SH**,
Some sh** you’ve probably never imagined or seen in your life,
And the religion,
In all its miniscule tarot scents,
Is drops of water from a helicopter on the forest fire,
Is
Better than nothing, for all of us.
