The Root and Religion

by Treischel

The Root and Religion

Our ancient ancestors sought to reveal
Many mysteries of the Universe
To see the star's magical clues
Answers from the Cosmos
Left undone as they
Seek far and wide
To find the
Primal

Root

Of all
So very deep
Within Religion
Rock, The Foundation
To build vast settlements
And awesome structures of stone
Finally Mankind evolved organization
With complex socially structured rules
The Formation of Civilization

Religion

Blind Faith, Devotion, Total Sacrifice
Double-edged Sword leads to Hate and War
Purges, Pogroms, and Holocaust
Crucifixions and Crusades
Holiest Rites Unyielding
Aloft Burning Cross
Witch at the Stake
The Good and
Evil

Root



Recognized


All major civilizations throughout history centered their societies around the foundations of their Religion whether Egypt, Rome, Greece, Aztec Central America, Mayan South America, Isreal, China, or India. They were all structured by their belief systems.
