Distorted Religious Agendas Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

'with religious propaganda
of the most fundamentalist
half baked semi accurate
dangerous twisted bigoted... '

unlearned kind; texts scriptures
are tailor altered twisted out
of context to serve purposes
new religious distorted agendas

all religions attract adherents
religion subverted subpoenaed
used abused politically enshrined
a historically tested Nazi copied

technique which power binds
believers patriotic deceivers
into surge charismatic states
promoting vile national agendas

beware nationalistic causes
which spew rage hate agendas
fear divide conquer scenarios
which persecute innocent souls

embrace all races creeds
honour ethnic diversities
uphold rights of minorities
love blessed philosophies


First stanza quotation from the poem 'Beware Racist Ignorance Religiously Justified' by Terence George Craddock.
