Kraken's Exhale

Rather imperative, man's peace & kindness should be foremost on the agenda ~ I'm sure this will be ill-receive'd by some but there are always two sides to a coin.

Halted in religious rhetoric

reap'd deeply in dragon's breath

slay'd in kraken's exhaled disavowed beliefs 

saintly passages hand'd down as gospel

mind control with no concrete sustenance

man's kindness rather'd of utmost accountable relevance

bloody sin at the hands of church goers' merciless chants

after hours en masse when they slaughter one another

You know that I would love this Frieda... I will only add there is no scientific proof of a superstitious god or gods or "Universe"; but there is plenty of proof that man invented such stupidity.. and this has done great harm in the world for way too long a time... a courageous "Kraken" write Frieda.

Indeed, I concur, blind stupidity. Thanks so much Curt.

I love the way you put a point across, a man with power in this day and age is a man with an agenda, be it a political or religious front, or even for that instance on the cafe, people with power and ego shed their dominance over the rest of the free thinkers. You're roar for independence and free will is supported by me till my last fighting breath. Excellent poem, thanks for the rr suggestion noodle!

[Frieda P]

People forget that you dont have to participate in a church to have a relationship with God. Theres benefits to having others to worship with but theres also a downside. The biggest being that the powerful leaders of that church or demonination may misuse their positions to promote personal agendas or force feed their interpretation of the bible. Hypocrisy and atrocities abound in institutions where the congregation is expected to be blind sheep rather then students of the word. A persons relationship with God is a private thing and should never be dictated by church bureaucracy. Youve touched on a controversial topic for some but one that needs to be brought into the light. Peace, love and kindness is something the world needs more of... ;-)

You said it much better than I ever could Red, here, here, thanks for your thoughts my friend.

Ahhhhh the truth is here (a second time today huh) way to put some fire behind this. Faith and religion. Hahahaha I laughed a bit actually. I enjoyed

[Frieda P]

It's sometimes so absurd, it is laughable, I concur, thanks Kai...second time?

[Kai Rollins]

A work I had not reviewed (for the sake of being sick. Very sick)

[Frieda P]

Sorry to hear, hope you're doing much better now...

[Rita L. Sev]

The difference between religion and faith is like night and day. Beware the religious zealot...

[Frieda P]

You smacked the nail right on its fanatical head, thanks Rita!

[Giggling Star]

"Religious War" an oxymoron ... and I mean MORON!!

[Frieda P]

AMEN!

[Giggling Star]

LOL :).............

[curiocity]

Oh my goodness. Just wonderful and so very true. I do love the kraken twist you added as well.

[Frieda P]

Ha thanks, I felt like the kraken when I was writing it too...

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Never been much for organized religion… they are judgmental and only interested in how much cash they can collect from their sheep. Needless to say I really enjoyed this piece. Thought provoking with hint of humor.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Dale, glad you took that away from this piece....
