The Debate Game

By soloiq

I think it's bad
       well I think it's good
let's debate religion
       you think we should?

promotes poverty
       helps the poor
the inquisition
       we know what for

wiped out cultures
       brought  the word
controls the masses
       tames the herd

faulty preachers
       um... the Pope?
that one's mine!
       a guy can hope

you kill hope too
        this still the game?
breeds hate in people
       someone's to blame

forces beliefs
       declares the truth
brutal punishments
       a tooth for a tooth

your copying me
       but with a twist
come over here
       put down that fist!!!
