Not Enough Tears

I have not enough tears
to shed over this
latest atrocity in Kenya.
I am becoming numb.

Fundamentalism pollutes
every religion, every senate.

So-called religious "leaders" -
who are only doing their "job"
mislead and guide astray
the lambs -
have any of them touched
the hem of the divine?
and Jesus warned us -
Beware the false shepherds, and
the wolves in sheep's clothing,

Fundamentalism pollutes
every religion, every senate.

Judaism has not saved the
human heart -
neither has Christianity -
and neither has Islam -
neither Hinduism,
nor Shintu,
nor Confucianism,
nor any religion
in the name of any god.
(There really is only one,
and the One is nameless)

If Islam takes over this country,
I shall quietly disappear -
and you can pick up the pieces.

Ignorance pollutes
every religion, every senate.

You can only save yourself.
