Our Birthright

A proprietary hold on God,

religion does proclaim

 

Defining what we know inside

our souls will they reclaim

 

The Cross or Torah, Buddhist lore

each ritual decries

 

What can’t be owned or scripted pure

through centuries of lies

 

Divinity a birthright deigned

for those who search to find

 

What God embeds in every soul

—that structure can’t define
