Convert To The Way

Convert To The Way

I do not believe supernatural God
designed and created our universe
nor created man in his divine image,
for we evolved from sperm deep in the sea,
where carbon rings formed taut genetic coils,
transforming to fish to lizard to mouse
to monkey to man who speaks conscious thoughts
and create things with matter-crafting hands.

Humans who are wise create social groups
with strong hierarchy of authority
where one person elected by the group
develops roles for each person to play
so they all work together in strong gangs
united in food-production machine
and defend the land they share as one nation
so everyone can eat with healthy heart.

More efficient groups where individuals
cooperate so everyone thrives with wealth
assimilate smaller groups in religion
that worships the founder as noble god
who taught them to welcome every lost soul
so people from various tribes work together
in multi-ethnic tribe of diverse talents
where everyone can convert to the Way.

The crucified god taught that every person
who understands and corrects their mistakes
so their acts create rather than destroy
can be redeemed and join society
to contribute the talents of their skills
improving infrastructure of our work
so we create more food for all to eat
by welcoming immigrants to our land.

Yet people who claim to follow that god
who taught them to care for every lost soul
want to build higher walls of selfish greed
to block more immigrants in caravans
from invading fertile land we control
instead of teaching them our way of life
when we spread out to control every land
and unite them all in empire of justice.

I believe we evolve each generation
when the wiser and stronger breed more children
while the dumber and weaker go extinct
yet I follow the teachings of that man
wanting to show compassion to the weak
while his followers want to kill them all
because they claim he is creator god
and they should rule the whole world in his name.

People who are members of larger groups
will attack weak people in smaller groups
to destroy or assimilate their souls
for groups with more efficient way of life
that sustains larger numbers of their members
will survive and grow stronger over time
to form religions of united empires
who clash in world wars to control the Earth.

Will I live or die in chess game of power,
used as the pawn or ruling as the king,
through constant contest to control the food
that transforms dirt into nutritious fruit,
performing my job to earn money credits,
or wandering hungry in the wilderness,
when I prophesy how our way of life
transforms through evolution of desire.
