The only tradition


The human race prides its traditions
Some strange customs, cruel anomalies

Clubbing seals and hunting the big five

Is what humans call a proud manly custom

Torturing bulls and harpooning whales

Is what men call a true part of their culture

Female genital mutilation and similar

Is what educators sell as religious tradition

These fabrications are not the traditions
That God has imposed on us

There is just but one tradition
Really worth your while

There is only but one tradition
To pass on to your children

All other is of mendacious men and
Goes against your fellow earthly creatures

There is just this one tradition
Because there is but one Beloved

Respect all life, love and pray,
Find the path, strive for a worthy return
