Pious Deception
Religion
is the death of God
conscripting Him away
Cloaked in false
propriety
enlightenment at bay
Religion
is the death of God
scriptures to mislead
All piety
a false disguise
worshipping the creed
Religion
is the death of God
whose armies rage and burn
Killing
in the name of One
—whose love they claim to yearn
