“Curse of Spirituality (Sonnet 2537)
Why is it that 90% of modern spiritual
population are just newage nutters,
what's the point in surpassing religious
fundamentalism, if you end up being
sucked into superstitions with glitter!
Why can't you be spiritual
without being superstitious,
why can't you be religious
without being a fundamentalist -
the day you could, that's the beginning
of civilized spirituality and human religion.
I'm not asking for cold, cantankerous logic
all the time, all I'm saying is, why does
spirituality have to depend on superstition -
if your spirituality crumbles without superstition,
you were never spiritual, just underdeveloped.
There is no spirituality except kindness,
there is no religion but service.”
