For hundreds of years
we made freedom
out of shattered bodies and minds,
which was shared-
Away from intolerant societies
violence
the suffocating regime of barren religion,
they thought,
awash with choice,
that their society was superior to that
which sustained them.
Their lives controlled and concrete-
without doubt and uncertainty-
everything there, in a book, read by
and interpreted by untutored men.
Their love of god
far greater than their love of men and women.
Their desire for heaven
far greater than other's suffering.
