RELIGION
Unites, divides, confuses defuses and makes strong
Somewhere to hide, somewhere to belong
Somewhere to be someone, a place to be noticed
It can be everything to everyone, a place to go unnoticed
A useful tool in the hands of the wise
A deadly weapon in a fool’s possession
The most destructive force on earth
Since the dawn of time and human’s birth
Its efforts to conquers and conform
Have more often ended in reform
It seeks to satisfy its own interests
Therefore it has no true redress
The timid and feeble minded are controlled by it
To the slick and cunning it’s a source of good profit
Religion, its good its bad its big its small
It can be a source of power to those who heeds its call
The people’s air, as old as time itself
It beckons to all come join, find your place upon my shelf
