Haiku For The Condemned

Religions' drawback
they condemn your every sin
claiming not to judge.

Author notes

I won't condemn religion. In fact, I love a wide array of them and their unique personality. Where they go wrog is being hypocritically ethnocentric.

In a list

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    Agree with Mr Id - This is a very thoughtful ku! Nice job!

    • Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it.
      As of the last week, I've been tampering and toiling with various poetic styles and topics. I usually don't right poems as short as haikus, but I suppose that my goal with this one is to make a unique, imporatnt, and profound point in very few words.
      Thanks for reading, I always love the feedback.

    Succint and wise. Great words. Powerful, too.

    I don't know about ehtnocentricity, but I think the Pope saying that people in Africa shouldn't be given contraception is a good example of the ways in which Christianity, specifically, can harm people, rather than save them.

    Great write, very provocative.
