"""God Said", By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)
 
"God said"
And funny how
The claimants of the varieties
Take that vow
 
To be blindly loyal
To kill anyone
Who dares 
To question them
 
"God said"
Let there be light
One separating 
Day from night
 
But science knows
This is not right
For the sun the only source
Bouncing off the moon
 
"God said"
Obey my tune
Do anything I order
That of you
 
And what the result
All this time
All the factions
Defending such fiction
 
"God said"?
No, humans say
Killing over
Not getting their way
 
As a human
I will fervently say
Give up on old mythology
It is the only way
 
We as a species
Have much more in common
Than the dilapidated
Claims of of antiquity
 
"God said"
No, humans claim
No matter the flavor
It is all the same
 
Our insecurities
Our desires
Or antiquated
Mythology
 
A old way
Of making sense
Of seeking control
Over our environment 
 
There is no God
Telling us what to do
There are only humans
Whom pick and choose
 
And the disastrous
Result of such
Is our tribalism
That holds us back.
