The Religions of Man Part I

The Religions of Man
Are like vast rivers
Meandering slowly
Across great plains to the ocean

Fed
By waters from the heavens
Travelling different directions
To reach the same ultimate destination

But
Some now flow so slow
That they have lost all sense of direction
Others have become altogether dried up
Some so polluted
They support no hope for life
Either here or after

So
Best use your own senses
And your mind
To find how to get close
To the shore by yourself
Where you will find
Fast clear streams
That flow straight into
The Ocean of Truth
That still patiently
Awaits us
