Stop Being so Religious


Stop Being So Religious
What
Do sad people have in
Common?

It seems
They have all built a shrine
To the past
And often go there
And do a strange wail and
Worship.

What is the beginning of
Happiness?
It is to stop being
So religious
Like That.

From: "The Gift" - versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
