Religion

It all came from people,
Really.
The Quran, the Bible, the Torah.
Dialect:
Said to have descended from
Above.

You have institutionalized the Father.
The Most High
Is holding a checkbook.
The Temple
Is lavished in gold.

Your neighbor waits
On the sidewalk.
She reaches her arms
Out to strangers.
Hands gently cupped,
She humbly asks for Bread.

The Light is laughing,
As Adam’s family tries
To control
The souls of all the people,
The young fed by the old.
