Religions of Man Part IV

All those that suffer
Are immortalised through pain
-
While those that suffering cause
Describe the word
Inane
-
Deliberate suffering caused
Defines evil in its shame
By civilised man judged an act
Of the insane
-
Now man is considered as a primitive creature
But if he can judge
And forgive
He is a leader
-
So if there is a God
I would expect it to be
-
Wiser than man
By at least
“slightly”
-
For if man can forgive
Then so should his God
-
Forgive
Not punish
Nor use Hell as a rod
-
So I won’t believe all the preachers tell me
Of the fear
Or the punishment they say has to be
-
Neither I believe in the death that is preached
-
In the name of religions
By fanatics that teach
-
For I would dispute
That they represent God
-
Despite all their books
Or their prayers
Or their nods
-
For God teaches me
God will never
Forget
-
Even one single
Soul
Who gets lost in the depth
-
And this is how I
Would expect God to be
-
More forgiving
Understanding
More merciful
Than me
-
So we all have to learn
To forgive to be free
-
Of the suffering
The anger
The pain
Misery
-
For as long as we murder
We torment and we maim
-
The longer will Mankind
Through religion be shamed
-
For in the blood of it's victims
Religion
Blasts it's name
On the streets of the world
Through faiths
That are chained
-
To a blindness
That is tribal
But is destined to be changed
-
Through the will of the loving
Who with living
Will engage
-
We need understanding
That we learn the power of love
-
So to listen
Not to Men
-
Who preach Death
Through the Dove
-
Always to remember
That 
The One True God
Is the Universe 
We live in
-
From which none
May be lost
