Religion is a man-made construction, in my opinion. Spirituality is a whole other thing. Neither of them have place in state. Solid piece here
Agree Willow
My dog has no religion, she’s happy just to eat. I’m kinda like that too…
Thx W
Church and state should stay separate…It’s not though. Good piece
No it’s not
I gotta work on that
Thx Fia
Happy Easter dearest Poet it was really a pagan fertility rite called Ishtar…Nature is where I go to find God…this is well said ❤️
I talk to my dog
Dog is God
God is Dog

Cleverly penned, Speak. As always you deliver my friend. They should always be separate indeed, unfortunately it seems some claim didn’t get the memo. Excellent write. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Some people need religion.
Something mightier to believe in.
We have poetry
Maybe that’s enough ?
Thx D
Hello Gary. I agree with your poem & statement. To the point and you always nail it! Maybe to a cross!!
I’ve always said I’d like believe but I’m to pragmatic or stubborn or I don’t like Kool Aid …
Dear PS,
I can always count on a particular dynamic in your poems that lay bare life at its core. And I always appreciate that because it’s raw and always truthful. Long live pragmatism. H🌷
Dear H,
My father was pragmatic and I guess I inherited that trait from him.
Religion is a something you grow up with or not. I had a religion but I’ve chosen to segregate the good from the allegory. The good part is spiritual and the rest for me is a pragmatic look at the people around me and what we share.
It’s so good to see you H.
I don’t come here often but every so often I need a place to put stuff.
You found me, I’m saved !!!
💕
Totally agree with your stance on religion. But it’s the relationship I see in your poem that makes me dig it. You have a way of saying a lot in a very sideways way. When you can talk religion with someone and then sit in a comfortable silence… that’s gold.
So great to read your writing.

I’m really glad to see your comment on this entry. Writing it reminded me of our DUP years. When our community would come together and you could write something like this without reprisals…
Appreciate you Red
You make me want to write more …
❤️
