Great Poetry

 Morality, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)
 
Call me insane
For quoting Paine 
"To do good is my religion"
Without the superstition
 
I value the likes
Of Martin Luther King
But no Jesus required
To do the right thing
 
I value the likes
Of Ann Frank
"In spite of everything"
Still saw the good in humans
 
I value the likes 
Of Malala 
Who took a bullet 
From sexist male behavior
 
As an atheist
I do see good
In humans worldwide
It should be understood
 
That there will never be
A perfect utopia
Where one religion dominates
Over all others
 
This skeptic would only
Dare to suggest
Our morality is in the individual
Not in our competing sects
 
Cory Booker 
Said it best
"Don't tell me what you believe
Show me through your actions"
 
All our factions
Can seek to divide
But yet still ignore
That all humans die
 
To me 
That means time
Is better served
To accept we only get one life.

This is clearly the equal of every poem you've ever posted here.
