Oracle

While in Delphi one fine day,
Heard the Prophetess Sibyl say:
From religions shy away,
Avoid preachers and politicians,
They are the world's
Most crooked magicians,
Running this planet
Without inhibitions,
From making territorial
And religious war decisions,
To using suicide bombers,
Threats and Inquisitions,
From the fights against abortions
To fanatic Moslems' distortions,
Men dying in battles
For ideas and soil
Or for the profits from the oil,
The imam yelling -
Kill the Infidel
To the Western cry -
Fight for the Oil Cartel.
Yes, for politics and religion,
People die -
Never know the reason why.

Then, to wind up
Prophetess Sibyl said:
Chances are God is dead
Or if he is still here,
We never, ever met.
