My Religion
'What is your Religion?' I'm asked.'None you know of - none, rather.' I simply say.
And upon my simple answer I'm being jeered at.
They call me nonreligious!
Ha!..
I wish they all be damned with their
I-don't-know-what
what they call Religions, not imbibing
the essence of Religion itself!
I know only one Religion;
And there's but one.
What are they they're fighting
On the names of?
Not Religions; but
Different guises of the same idea, not deciphered,
Only the names being fussed upon!
Poor non-Religious fools!
Being superior man to them,
Declare I will, that
Rationality is my Religion,
Truth my God,
And faith the worship.
And those nonreligious things,
The contradictors, my foes, my foes...
Oh, I wish them damnation,
For the peace of my soul,
If relinquish it they don't.
