No Religion? ballade

No Religion? ballade

A Poem by Rew


No religion; no Talibans
no persecution of the Jews,
not subject to god-made Adams
no honour killings in the news.
No flogging of women as just dues
for showing errant inch of skin,
not stoned to death for holding views
against some churches ruthless spin.

No evangelists fleecing fans
to send Him on luxury cruise,
no religion pushed abortion ban
because politics does so choose.
No heaven, hell, a church's ruse,
No Coeur d Lyons no Saladins
crusading, a grifter's excuse,
as is that... " Original Sin "

But, no Saud's mosque, Mecca, Islam
no high passion of St Mathew's
no Monumental Cathedrals
no great paintings to be viewed.
Inspired by their greatest muse,
no chorist's making rafters ring
high alleluias, for folk on pews
allaying fears,  instilled within?
