ORGANIZED RELIGIONS GRAND AND SMALL

 
Men create gods
In their own imagination,
And in their own image.
 
 And sheep follow fools,
 And blame their crimes
 On the gods they have created,
In their own minds.
 
And anyone
Who dares to question,
As I did once,
In an Anglican church,
 In Montreal,
 Presents a threat
To the power of men to control
The minds and the money
Of the weak and those confused.
 
When I questioned someone quoting bible,
I was told that
I was
"Sent by the devil to disrupt the church."
 
Later I found another Anglican Church
Where the minister was wise,
And learned,
And very kind.
 
Organized religion
Is Big Business.
 
Sometimes it has something to do
With God.
