Rough translation of my French poem “Qui croire” (Whom Should We Believe)
Searching the depths of oneself
Everyone can find a true poem

Any priest, rabbi and imam

Seeks to conquer our souls
They say they are wise
Even say they are "Magi"
 
Some think only of their pockets
Others avoid any reproach
Some come from afar
Others say they have no needs
 
Most important that they believe
They can solve our problems
Without taking themselves for Gods
As have done some ancestors
 
Some stick to their concept
Preaching the law to their followers
Make them respect the old laws
Especially so they do not lose faith
 
In reality they do it for themselves
Using the old system
Because nothing strengthens their faith
As much as instilling it in those who don’t have it
 
But it is important not to blame them
Because they also need hope
But with regard to every person,
One must make the decision that seems good
 
They say: "Everyone for himself and God for all"
Ideas do not advance us one inch
One should draw in oneself, find one’s source
This is the only path that is worth taking.

The essence of all faith is repetition. It starts with children and is carried through life until the dying man or woman asks for that faith to save their souls in the end. True indoctrination, my friend.

I thoroughly enjoyed both versions. I know a preacher than claims we shouldn't worship like Hipshot Percussion, but you and I know better.

Very good! I believe my own way perhaps unlike anyone else but I respect each person's right to believe as they do.

Love ya!
