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

Religious tendency is not negotiable. It’s what almost all of us are born with. Otherwise we would not see nearly every tribe and culture steeped in some kind of religion. So let’s not debate whether it’s good or bad, and just accept it. Like our tendency for sex, it leads to comforting and harmless activities if not perverted.

What I think about the afterlife destination of unbelievers has little affect on how I treat them, or how Jesus treated them. He said “Love your Enemy” (infidels included). How is that a perversion of religion?

Some religions say that murder is not naughty. They are perversions. I think it is naughty, not because of my religion, but because its naughtiness is obvious. The link between morality and religion may be weaker than you think.
