Saint Anger’s Glare

Saint Anger’s Glare

So you don’t believe that God’s panentheist?

Then look at the suffering street kitten or the starving child

Now declare that religion’s for the rational mind

Now dare to be self-righteous in your comfort zone

They prayed in vain when the gas ovens burst their brains

How many NAZIS did you count living free until their nineties?

Remember Phnom Penh when Khmer Rouge marched that City to death

Skeletal rib cages picked clean by vultures of the killing fields

Now dare to do that daily religious ritual that makes smug

Muttering blessings while accusing sexual difference of being evil

Don’t you see the contradictions covered by belief?

Doesn’t it make you think your premises are from a mind thief?

And mystics don’t you grin for it’ll become chagrin

Denying the mind in favor of feelings is a sin

There’s only one way to rely that mankind has humanity

It’s the rational good called sublime human nature, not charity
