We are born to travel our own paths
In a myriad of different ways.
Ostensibly seeking the same truth
We stumble through life's maze.

Religions taught appear at odds
And are the root cause of dissent.
Self satisfying lust and greed
Speed us on our way, hellbent.

Our one redeeming feature
Is a quality as yet unpriced
Faith, in those early teachings
Be they, Buddha, the Koran or Christ.

Yet the major religions are as one
Embellished by each sect or creed.
In essence, we are but organisms
That evolved here on earth to breed.

Audacious, corrupt, conceited
The puny microbe, known as man
Is but a piece in Nature's jigsaw
A step in Evolution's plan.
