Bums in the Air
People are great joiner-inners. They go with the majority. I find it quite startling to see how conservative and fundamental things have become. Back when I was a lad my Muslim friends were all westernised. They didn’t take their religion to extremes. The girls did not go around in head-scarves let alone burqas. In Islamabad University in Pakistan the students wore jeans, T-shirts and listened to the Beatles, Stones and Pink Floyd.
How things have changed.
The children are taken off to their Madrassas where they are subjected to religious indoctrination.
I see families walking down the street, in the summer heat, with the poor woman completely enclosed in heavy black robes, breathing stale air behind a mask, while her husband is cool in T-shirt and jeans.
I am a believer in freedom but I hate misogyny, indoctrination and superstition.
In my view spirituality is about harmony with nature and the universe. Religion is about power, indoctrination and division.
Bums in the Air
Bums in the air
Indoctrination everywhere.
Allah and sweet Jesus,
Jehovah
And God above.
How absurd they look
With their array of holy book.
Spouting words
From Neolithic lords
Dressed in fancy costume –
Medieval bride
And modern groom.

keep spreading the good news 🙂
Very good!
true. there are many things which are wrong in every religion but realty is this that today people live their life due to religion. it has become there need and way.
I have respect for anybody’s beliefs. That’s fine with me. For a lot of people they need a code and set of rules. I object to indoctrination, intolerance and division. People use it for power.
i think you are right
I am glad that we agree.
