Because You Asked about the Line Between Religion and Faith
Books walls rules structure
Music poetry prayer
Bulwark and support
Minefields and cracked foundations
Blood and ashes on our lips
In ancient mountains
Touch comforting newborn cry
Rain soothing dry earth
Nurturing bloom and fruit for
Nourishing spirt and flesh
Religion a tool
Gripped to protect or destroy
Faith benevolence
A gift to lighten our load
Without faith religion fails
