My Religion Poem by Nkosiyazi Kan Kanjiri

My Religion



If I were to talk about my religion
I would talk of a rag tossed into a mud pool
I would talk of a path lost in the doldrums of civilization
I would talk of a god that succumbed to the god of other lands
I pity my religion
It is gone
Buried under the pages of a book my kinsmen don't understand.
