Bye Byegotry



Your priests telling stories,
And delusive tales,
Of greeds and of worries,
Of sin and of hate.

If gods are disheartended,
Themselves are to blame,
Cause mankind was darkened,
By their brutal game.

From ivory towers
Your gods taking aim,
But they lose their powers,
When we lose our faith.

Don't blindly believe in
Those stories of shame.
Start mindfully feeding
Your own inner flame.
