He Who Has Nothing Else Has God
Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

The Only Thing to do is to Live
Use Yourself while You have Yourself
I have My own Philosophy
But I do not let Myself
Be fooled by Make-Belief
Make-belief gives me no Relief

But
The Man who has Nothing else has God
It's better than nothing
Be sure
Religion is Food for the Poor
The Under-fed
The Down-and-Outs
Religion Gives Them Myths
To Feed on
Fairy-tales
The Soul
Immortality
Paradise
The Stars
And They swallow It
To rest…to Live
