Religions of Personal Salvation

are essentially
religions of selfishness
(have I said this before ?)
which may be why they preach
but minimally practise
alms-giving, 'charity'.

Instead of churches and mosques and temples
may there be spinneys and copses

Instead of banks and museums
may there be marshes and meadows

Instead of malls and halls
may there be thickets


Instead of government
may there be fastness of forest

'The Enemy' is not a nation nor a state
but Religion.

(Idolatry, of one kind or another,
is now the commonest human condition.)

*

from The Gospel According to Pertti Linkola,
possibly edited by George Monbiot :

Heal not the sick
for the sick are exhausting the earth.
