Being religious
has nothing to do with the world

The world minds itself
and its wars, quakes and lack-love

The god of the religious
does not reside in the world;
has nothing to do with it

The dilemma that religious people face
is that they're nothing but the world

Their thoughts of a god is also the world

We well remember
how Galileo Galilei was jailed
and exiled by the religious
because he understood
that the Earth was not the centre
of the solar system

We remember
how Giordano Bruno was burned
at the stake by the religious
because he maintained
that the universe was endless
and populated by intelligent beings

We remember
how the religious
burned women they called witches
at the stake

The difficulties of the god-creepers
of today
reside in the same environment,
like crouching dead insects

Yes, the religious paint the invisibility
of their god
across the wars, quakes and lack-love
of the world

We tear the invisibility of the god
out of their minds
and step on it

The religious are security risks

We burn the absence of their god
in the relentlessness of perspicacity,
and the world smiles
out of the sheets on clothes lines
and the asphalt roads rained clean
far and near
