Religion

Religion

Is the name of the game

We vote for colours

Not with our hearts

Religion

Is ingrained in our lives

It causes problems all the time

Making hearts break all over

Religion

Is evident on our streets

With the flags that fly

And the words that we say

Religion

Is not the way forward

As it sticks us in the past

And continues to divide our nation in two

Religion

Needs to be stopped

We need to look higher

And seek the truth in faith

Religion

Can be seen as fake news

It tells you one thing

That makes you hate one another

Religion

All it does is bring conflict

Closes our hearts

And brings pain to all

Religion

Stops progression of the people

And brings the country to a halt

But its religion that needs to stop

Religion

Needs to be replaced

With the love and truth of faith

And the peace which that brings
