You Only Preach Intolerance Poem by Francis Duggan

You Only Preach Intolerance



Since you believe the fear mongers who keep filling you with fear
Of your little fears and worries I do not wish to hear
So many times you've told me of how your God is great
Yet those you see as different to you in any way you do not tolerate.

Since to the one known as your higher self you never could be true
Your God is not a good God if your God thinks like you
'Tis no wonder we have war zones and 'tis no wonder famine is rife
And 'tis no wonder in the World there is great loss of young life.

Since with the feelings of those different you cannot empathize
I do feel sorry for you your thinking is not wise
Between your God and their God the gulf keeps growing wide
But you feel so much superior to them with your real God on your side.

Since I am one without a God or one who doesn't believe in prayer
You see me as a bad person one damaged beyond repair
But what you think or feel about me I really do not care
You only preach intolerance take your message elsewhere.
