What Is Religion?



What Is Religion?


Religion is faith

In what was said

By someone

Somewhere 

At sometime

People then 

Made a whole

Rigmarole

Of rituals,

Practices

Out of it

And set up

Congregations

To gather

And practise

Their worship

What was said

By someone

Somewhere

At some time

Is what 

Is called 

Hearsay

In a court of law,

Hearsay is 

Inadmissible

As evidence

In the house of religion,

It is considered

Incontrovertible

Taken as a given,

A truth,

Indisputable

Ah, religion!

The beauty, 

And simplicity

Of faith!

Ah, ah, ah!

The Human Body : What The Heck!



 The Human Body : What The Heck!


The human body

Protoplasm wrapped

Around a naked frame

Fragile as a twig

A sad tale of creation

Or the fool of evolution

An indictment writ large

The human body

What the heck!

Truth opaque
