What Kind Of Religion


What kind of religion blows a plane out of the sky?
Two hundred passengers instantly die.
What kind of religion takes a man out of his bed
And makes him pray before his family
While a bullet shoots him dead?

What kind of religion blames another mans faith
When surely there can be just one god?
Deep down we're all the same
What kind of religion sets itself on fire
A demonstration for the world to see
While it perishes in the pyre?

I believe in you if you believe in me.
I believe in truth. I believe in honesty.
I believe in faith. I believe in good.
I believe in believers. I believe in love.

What kind of religion sacrifices its own kind?
Kamikaze war tactics
For mere mortal gain.
What kind of religion blows a mans knee caps away
For no other reason
Than talkin' to the other side?

What kind of religion makes pensioners fall
On a Remembrance Day Parade
After seeing out two wars?
What kind of religion makes a hole in the ground
That swallows up all before it.
Never to be found
