Outside – Insanity Rages
It’s so dark,
Too dim to read,
Too vague to write,
Too unknown to comprehend.
Outside – insanity rages.
We’re still living in the dark ages.
Suffocated
In superstition,
That strangles
Reason and intelligence.
Trapped in the past.
Outside – insanity rages.
We’re still living in the dark ages.
Darkness
Of religion,
Ignorance
Is claustrophobic.
As all innovation
Is strangled at birth.
Outside – insanity rages.
We’re still living in the dark ages.
Suppression
Of science.
Suspension
Of rational thought.
Blindness
Of belief.
Outside – insanity rages.
We’re still living in the dark ages.
Minds shackled,
Truth ridiculed,
Education
Mere propaganda.
Following the book.
Outside – insanity rages.
We’re still living in the dark ages.
Self-appointed
Guardians,
Dictate the law.
Interpreting
And conveniently
Defining
The words
To suit
Themselves.
Outside – insanity rages.
We’re still living in the dark ages.
Misogyny
And racism
Are deployed
To round up
The faithful
And inflame
Their hatred.
Outside – insanity rages.
We’re still living in the dark ages.
Opher – 10.4.2024
I see the cult of Trump, the fanaticism of the ultra-right Christians, the extreme Jewish settlers and the terrorists of Hamas and ISIS. All I see is naked control and power, lust and greed, psychotic violence and tribal hatred. What I see is the division and oppression of religion.
Religion stultifies, gives power to psychopaths and causes division, hate and fear.
When will we escape the Dark Ages??
