Religion

A poem about what religion, religious community, and religious identity can do and be

It looks at me

It hears me

It feels me

It judges me

It helps me

It enlightens me

It traps me

It bothers me

It soothes me

It produces for me

It nurtures me

It reasons for me

It kills me

It talks for me

It wrecks me

It develops me

It wounds me

It loves me

It ____________ me

It kills me

It is me...
