oh saint!

oh saint!

A Poem by victor adeniran

                    Oh saint! I wonder how far your feet of ignorance has taken thou

                You’ve turned your back from heaven and to man you now bow

                If ever your god exists, he must be ashamed of thee

                Let peace be God and let man rest

                Our world needs not religion but a divine. Yes!

 

               Oh saint! You have immortalize your kind and called him savior

              In this lies the beginning of all problems, segregation and failures

              Why should I be Muslim when I can be a Buddhist?

              Or a Christian if I could be atheist?

              I am not a believer of religion, for it has blinded us and made us racist

 

             Oh saint! Do you not recognize that God is love?

             And not a mystery that must be solved

             Love must be preached and peace be worshiped

             No call for hostility, bury your guns, missiles and war ships

            If this means anything to you oh saint! Then let love be God

Victor...I dont think its messy i think you do a great job in expressing your feelings about organzed religion. History has shown much turmoil within religious followings of all kinds...but God is ...and as man learns he evolves society evloves and hopefully hate and prejudice will dissapear Nice job!

thanks for your honest review
Amen, unfortunately organized religion is contrary to the message of love so many of us understand. I am Christian (meaning I follow the LOVING and PEACEFUL message he brings, but do not attend church because of the hypocrisy. Good words, great message! Nice job!
