Analysis of Religiosity



There was a man who believed in nothing
and nothing was all he became.
While the man who believed in everything
went slowly but surely insane.

Sadly the ones who followed Jesus
forgot what their savior had taught.
For they hated the Atheist thinkers
and their line of wrongful thought.

While those that bowed to Allah
caused terror and war and pain.
Against those that claimed to be chosen
and anyone else they could maim.

Even the Budhist monk got caught in a funk
because China invaded Tibet.

As the Taoist said "chill" it's just a town on a hill
what was meant for you you will get.

But I think Albert said it best,
that we all are truly blest,
by one God who started it all.
With a wave of his hand
and a mystical plan
under which we simply must stand in awe.

About this poem

I read a quote by Albert Einstein that gave me the idea for this short poem. I have always believed we all pray to the same God. We just don't know it.
