ReligionA Poem by Paul
From where did we embrace this religion That has covered our eyes with such darkness? Now our problems are a legion And has got no name than backwardness Didn’t they say it would make us wise And open our eyes to see the light. Didn’t they say it would make us rise And give our thoughts wings of flight? Both old and young are drunk of it. This religion has locked their heads And all of them are in a fit Sleeping their lives in idle beds. What has happened to our reason That everyone in different bands Are marching their future to prison And in religion’s name have folded their hands.
