For One Poem by Francis Duggan

For one who often kneels and prays to God
I must say some of your ideas do seem odd
When you say all of those with a different God to your's are wrong
To a narrow church 'twould seem you do belong.

For me a Godless man of doggerel
You only see an afterlife of hell
And though we will all receive the karma we are due
Judge not and thou shalt not be judged also applies to you.

For one who profess for to lead a pure life
You are not kind and loving to your wife
You see women as inferior to men
Is verbal gender bashing not a sin?

For one who says your God loves humankind
Your own flaws are not very hard to find
One can only hope that the God that you love true
Is less judgemental and fairer than you.
