That Old Time Religion
THAT OLD TIME RELIGION
Some tribes’ cobwebby myths
Commandeered and tossed in
With reworked patriotic tales
Deep-fried into a new religion
Which
Cast in stone aids elites control
These all too scary unruly masses
Alongside the brute force of arms
Cruel slavery, theft and massacre
Which
So long divorced from true Love
And fearful of their fear of fear
Yet they used fear and use it yet
To bolster a baleful status quo

Guilt and fear. They’ve kept the masses in check for thousands of years.

Apart from the odd outburst. But then look at the French revolution or the Declaration of Independence. Things got back to “normal” after a while.

Perhaps it’s a test.
Are we following our heart?
If so all will be well.

And so it goes… History repeating itself over and over.

“Sensible people learn from their mistakes.
The wise learn from the mistakes of others.
The fool learns nothing.”
