If religion and politics are basically control tools, I have a suggestion. Don't play.
Do any of those jokers in government or in the pulpit ever look like they're having a good time? No, of course not. Take a look at a kid in a mud puddle. Watch a cat with a box.
Whistle a tune and you're a songwriter. Paint animals and sunsets on your shoes and you're an artist, a fashion designer.
Get your mind into the gutter and keep it there. Love like your life depends on it.
Give us peace on earth and end this dreadful, dreadful war.
