Religious Choice

If we were born to Arab parents so the Muslim religion too
Just as a Latino becomes a Catholic so also the Hebrew becomes a Jew.
Not one person born on earth has had a prior religious choice
We are blest to have been chosen to have life and hopefully to rejoice.

Every culture and society from histories way back when
I question why the male was chosen and excluded the feminine.
The male gender usually held the cultural title's of power
He has been the one in charge, control, and killing of the flowers.

His singular thought selected the Gods that were best for him
As Emperor, Caesar and king; each were divine and void of sin.
Only royalty could have intent, purpose and reason for a war
People lived in fear of their rulers and the violence they saw.

The male ego is of self, pride, and acts of masculine vain glory
Authors, directors and authority of most of all humanities stories.
Man refuses to acknowledge his almost total lack of inclusion
His intent to confuse is obvious as humanity struggles in confusion.

Everything we have and everything on earth we will ever get
To lose the freedom to think, speak, and write; just makes us forget.
