There’s Atheists and Christians, Baptists and Catholics. There’s Jewish people, There’s Buddhist people, And there’s Jehovah's Witnesses. Hundreds of religions, As to the 1930’s when there Were only one or two. National wars break out Because of difference of religion. Yet those wars are mended Soon after as members of a Religious group help and console each other. The famous Columbine shooting, “Do you believe in God?” That line cost one girl her life, But it brought a nation closer To that little state called Colorado. Wars and prejudice, their troubles Charities and Support Groups, their benefits Who’s to say religion Is good or bad now, In this world we live in Where any conflict of interest leads to violence And any tragedy leads to healing. ©2001, Travis Loudin
Reason for writing:
Wouldn't mind comments about my poem sent to my email address. If you want to talk about religion, I will..personally, I'm an atheist. You can check out my poem from 5 years ago at poetry.com, just search for my first and last name. I wrote this originally as a paper for school, but I like it a lot. I want to know what complete strangers think of it. That's all in a nutshell. See ya
Birth sign: Scorpio
