#169 RELIGION

We’re scared dwarfed and awed by it

We look for reasons, meanings and hope in it

We fight, we kill, we die for it

What is it, that we find???

A blind all-consuming faith

A confirmation of our condemnation

A recognition of our incompleteness

What do we see????

A looming loss

A doom deferred

A never-ending road without signs without purpose

What do we get?????

A choice

Nothing more and nothing less

Nothing but a choice

A choice between rotting in the sod

And burning to ashes.
