CORRUPTION OF RELIGION CAUSED BY THE MORTAL MAN.A Poem by Jim_FNumber one Cause of WarsA conflict of logic and belief. Multiple minds coming together in a pact. One might say that they are willing to agree in a open manner. A treaty to vanquish violence. Stubborn minds coming to their own heartfelt constitutions of truth. The truth in knowing that death is more disrespectful than life; once received but, not asked for. The resolution from the beginning was to eliminate evil by committing similar and usually more malicious acts.
Many institutions agree to disagree that they are similar yet, uniquely varied establishments. Unanimously they try to eliminate violence by crafting terror and war. To the unjust, wrong can't be committed as long as there is a belief of some higher power to back up these empowered people's resolve. The fight is for dominance.
A vast and opaque network that transparently shows the world what they want to see. People, not unnatural beings, run these businesses of the soul. No holy angel, god, or other wonder of delight from above, below, left or right would wish their own creations to harm one another. It is the mortal man that causes this fright. Groups that take what they like as long as they have the ability to either dominate or retreat. They seize silk from the roads and the lives of the innocents with smiles baring the fangs of vipers while hiding within their sheep. Fanatic zealots' venom dripping off their lips, burning the good names of the peaceful and merciful followers of humanity.
The idea of good can be differentiated between all kinds. There is no grey, only black and white to the followers of a vast amount. Eventually wars start and only one wins. The bloodied win makes their “good” truth. This happens once and only once the opposing evil is dismembered. The victor is absolved of his crimes only because the venomous strike of the opponent was less potent than the Word that the other side brought to a snake fight.
It is a counter intuitive puzzle. The strength of arm casts a shadow which, darkens the winner's holy symbol. This darkness only makes the perpetual violent struggle for peace continue to race at an increasingly faster pace.
Is there a way to ascertain which is right, which is wrong and who should be punished for the mass grave of corpses that were left behind in their holy wake? No, all violence is wrong. Yet, to protect the rights and freedoms of society the justification of dominance and force once again ensues. Self preservation is life. Sadly, too many believe that they belong under an infinitely just truth that is unparalleled to all others. These blind ideologies can only prove that everybody else is wrong and to somebody else, so are you. © 2016 Jim_F |
