Births and deaths


 

 

When fundamentalist religions set pace
-- In numbers huge and quite sickening --
Souls rush to and from the human race.
We tremble at insane quickening!

A didactic and multi-edged sword.

There certainly is an increase in velocity in religious deception and the execution of flesh and demonically driven agenda.

I find equal damage done by all religions when they lose site of their true intent.
