Forget About Religion... Amen

by Beautiful Chaos   Jan 23, 2008


Who really needs a book,
To tell them how to live?
Or promises of heaven,
To teach them to forgive.

Why do we need a building,
To go and pray to God?
To divide us even further,
Another false facade.

Believe what's in your heart,
Be open to debate,
But God flies out the window,
When faith turns into hate.

No creator could applaud,
Killing in his name,
If truly they are watching us,
They hang their head in shame.

    O man.
    i really really liked it.
    as for the writing, it was good, simple, and to the point. i think that that added a lot to the message of the peom. the ryhme and rhythm were very good also.
    and as for the message: i loved it. i just wrote an article about religion and the hypocrites and all that stuff, and this just portrayed exactly what i was trying to say in like 1000 less words haha. it was very good.

    First of all I didn't have this in my mind with this title, I think, I expected a poem in which religion is
    introduced on a negative way but I also thought that this piece will contain more irony, but that was just my interpretation of the title.

    Anyway I agree with the message and I truly admire your ability to write a provoking poem like this one. Very intense write. Ending is simply brilliant and tone of whole piece made me laugh cause it is truly remarkable.
    I enjoyed in this, first two lines grabbed my attention and this is very interesting poem. Second stanza continued with truly effective rhythm. Third stanza wasn't great as the rest of the poem, in my opinion, but that depends of reader's personal taste.
    All in all well done!
