Religion causes
all the wars in the world.

That’s why Bones
always gets in a fist fight
when someone calls him
a Cat-Licker.

It’s a never ending,
and universal battle.

'Religion causes

Not all, but it has certainly claimed a large slice of the cake.
Strangely, I watched a programme on The Crusades last night. Brutal: even by the standards of those times.

Yo Bobby, but religions are made by people, they convey their intolerancy in so many matters..Thanks for the thoughtful poem, I share a part of it.

Thanks dear Osprey,

For reading and commenting. Yes, the Crusades were a mess.

A lot of truth here, Bobby.

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, I'm afraid you are right again. Of course we all know that Bones is a "defender of the faith", and a "soldier of the Church."

Love Bobby

Bobby dear, you have it back-wards. Lack of religion,causes wars. True religion is love, understanding, faith and forgiveness.

My God bless you.
