Hitchens Razor Poem by Timothy Long

Religion, a force so strong,
That blinds us, and leads us wrong,
With promises of eternal life,
It causes endless pain and strife.

Christopher Hitchens spoke the truth,
Unwavering in his pursuit,
Of exposing religion's harmful ways,
And it's dangerous, delusional craze.

For centuries, it has divided,
Brothers and sisters, lovers once united,
In the name of a god above,
Oh, how it poisons and corrupts love.

Wars fought in the name of faith,
Bloodshed, violence, and hate,
Crimes justified by holy texts,
But where is the compassion it projects?

Blind faith, the ultimate danger,
Leaves no room for rational behavior,
Forces us to ignore evidence and reason,
And follow blindly, like sheep in a treason.

But Hitchens, a voice of reason bright,
Challenged us all to use out sight,
To question, to doubt, to think for ourselves,
And not be controlled by religious spells.

His words, a wake-up call for humanity,
To break free from religious insanity,
To embrace a world of science and fact,
And leave behind the lie's religion has stacked.

For religion, though it may provide comfort,
Is truly, at its core, a harmful effort,
To control, to manipulate, to deceive,
And in its grasp, we must not believe.

So let us heed Hitchen's wise words,
And spread them like wildfire among the herds,
For religion, in all its forms, must be tamed,
And humanity, with reason, must be reclaimed.
