Religion

The land is just the land
Like the sea is just the sea
No land is ever promised
No land is ever holy
These are just words people say
Just thoughts that lead them astray
These are just myths of history
Just ignorance and stupidity.

Religion poisons everything
Religion is the original sin
The pedophile priest
The suicide bomber
The plane into the tower,
The daughter killed for honour.

And a child is just a child
Not a Muslim or a Jew
Not a Shiite or a Sunni
Not a Christian or a Hindu
These are just labels we sell
To those still innocent and free
When they are much too young to tell
Reality from fantasy.

Religion is the great mistake
Religion is the trust we break
The poison in the playground
The suspicion of the other
The faith school and madrassa
Brother killing brother.

And a book is just a book
Just words upon a page
There is no holy scripture
All writing is man made
There is no afterlife to fear
No God to which we have to bow
The simple rule for living here
Is just kindness in the here and now.

Religion paralyzes minds
Religion is the past that binds
The idiot evangelists
Disputing evolution
The Crusade and the Jihad
And the final solution

Religion poisons everything
Religion is the original sin.
