perhaps it is time
amid all the hate
to acknowledge that we are not fully human
if we cling to deities
clinging perpetuates the illusion that we humans
are just slightly lower than angels
constructing deities and angels helped early humans
to survive the darkness
venture into the unknown
to control others
constructing deities and angels
created differences that do not exist in nature—
belief dehumanizes many
while it sanctions the actions of true believers
by believing
we humans fail to be fully aware of our humanity
our kinship
our limited existence
perhaps it is time amid all the hate…
