Champions of Religious Devotion


 

Oh dear, the furious righteousness

of those wedded to a fixed notion

that their raging religious conviction

must perforce be shared by others else

wither in the scorn of their derisive

accusations of feeble-mindedness

in rejection of the sacredness of

historical antecedents. The very bruised

psyches that rail against the injustice

of racist maledictions against a proud

people believe themselves champions

of justice and human rights yet will not

hesitate to condemn others committed

to equality and fairness in human interaction

in recriminations fueled by their very own

sanctimonious brand of bigotry.
