Pious Deception
Religion
is the death of God
conscripting Him away
Cloaked in false
propriety
enlightenment at bay
Religion
is the death of God
scriptures to mislead
All piety
a false disguise
worshipping the creed
Religion
is the death of God
whose armies rage and burn
Killing
in the name of One
—whose love they claim to yearn
(The New Room: December, 2023)
