Agnus Dei

Belief is such a closed shop.

Agnus Dei

Lambs to the slaughter

are those corralled

by preachers

into righteous books.

Those taught and cajoled,

brow-beaten and threatened

with evisceration,

or indeed shown the gates of hell

in order to secure devotion.

Those given meeker sermons

are indeed at as great a risk

as those bludgeoned with

the holy bible

or the, equally holly, qur'an.

For such insidious inculcation

infiltrates the stoutest

of souls, brainwashing

them of rational thought

and leaving the arts of science

and the humanities

a much weakened reasoning.

Your words are powerful and shake the system. Indeed all are at risk...

So true...with this slow conditioning have flourished many terror camps. Sometimes I feel no one born of a man should be allowed to stand on the podium and preach.
