Pigeon



Organized religion
Was too organized to fit
Me organically
To be to my benefit

I felt like a pigeon
As they organized for me
To get sheepish and keep
My mouth shut about my doubt
Keep secrets dark and deep
They said to forget about

But I remember now
What I vowed not to forget
I got it and got out
But would not get over it

Out here better off without
Their organization
Looking back I can see how
This realization
Saved my sheepish soul to be
A pigeon now no more

Having flown free I can see
What God gave pigeons wings for

Bill Maher once said "that in order for mankind to survive, religion has to die." There's enough religion in the world to make us hate, but not enough to make us love. All religion does is keep us apart.
