Voice of the World (Free verse) by Dovina

They call us Third World below the Second below the First because we have less produce less suffer more But three are really one these days we can help you understand come and let us show you hear the One World voice Osama gives us food teaches kids to read Musharraf gives promises and sewage in the street Work all day to buy a chicken or dine on scraps of rich don’t say we have democracy and allies in the West Fill not the mouth of famine if you fear to make us strong but feed the brains of young ones not yet won to jihad’s cause Come and give them options show them one big world maybe we will kill you maybe they will not

Is that what I said? No. I said the world would be better. The "religious tendency" is the tendency to hold beliefs based on insufficient evidence. That is what "faith" means. That this tendency is somehow A Good Idea, is beyond me. Not only is it A Bad Idea, it's a dangerous one, particularly when the faith is induced by the threat of Eternal Violence.

Consider your own position. Does religion make you a better person? I for one do not need divine inspiration to know that murder is naughty. Perhaps you do?
