Re·ligion

Reconnecting to the Source

searching for the love that was severed

allergic to the word that describes

my allegiance being tethered.

Watching others bound by their faith

waiting for the common moment that unites us

everyone dancing around their disgrace

scared and hiding behind their God-lust.

Examining the difference between a belief

and the way that society twists it

all the while, wondering if I’m in too deep

if the answer was there, but I missed it.

What is truth, what are our origins, what does our future hold?

each question desperate, each answer bold

every culture needs to be controlled

so the church responds, “It has been foretold.”

Right versus wrong drifts across my mind

the distinction religions all teach

though every religion believes they’re “right”

so how can they be believed?

Religious by default, religious to the core

these things some people claim

but their actions don’t always match their words

as they live in their savior’s name.

Why is it that at some point,

all societies adopt a religion or create one?

are we so incapable on our own,

that we must worship a heavenly son?

What happened to our conscience, where have our ethics gone?

even with religion, wars break out before long

we claim to love Jesus, and sing his earthly song

In God’s name we fight, in His name we drop the bombs.

Death should be a celebration, for the homecoming that it is

yet we mourn and grieve our losses

as if this earthly life were it

though life is just a voyage, materialistic, we sink our own ships.

Crossing the line of the theoretical

engaged by the person of the fire

I reflect upon the astrals

knowing, those who play this game will tire.

One day we’ll reach infinity, we’ll synchronize with the earth

we’ll clean our house of religion

realizing our purpose at birth

until then, I’ll try to resonate, and recognize this world’s worth.
