Mirrors Aren’t Lenses

No theology
Actually tells you
Much reliable

Or actionable
Information re
The universe, but

Every religion
Speaks volumes about
The way the mind works.

Take all creeds and names
Given faiths and gods,
You could reconstruct

A pretty picture
Both of the species
That created them

And each social group
That encysted them.
But as for the stars

Or the future or
The deep cosmic past,
Don’t ask religion.
