Let Me Get This Straight, By Brianrrs37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

Why the long wait, was boredom on his plate?
13.8 billion years ago, a universe on his slate
Of our planet’s 4 billion years, 5 mass extinctions
Only 250,000 years ago to get to the human trait
Only 10,000 years ago to get to human’s writing
Of that time today religions never stop fighting
Sunnis and Shiites cant agree
Jews and Muslims cannot see
Protestants and Catholics truce tentatively
An eye for an eye for mythology’s lie
They stole this Yahweh from the Canaanite pie
All of them willfully ignorant, needlessly die
Over a fictional guy in the sky.
And you dare to ask me why?
I don’t believe in fever’s call
I don’t want to attend the zealot’s ball
I don’t see that it has brought peace at all.
