Like the hub of a wheel
  reality turns

Each spoke a religion
  a doctrine that churns

Christians and Buddhists
  spread out to the rim

Jews and then Muslims
  attached deep within

The wheel turns in circles
  as spokes never touch

Each message turns blindly
  to act as a crutch
  
Until craters dismantle
  ….the wheel breaking free

To sink in exclusion
  all truth to be seen

Spokes pile and mix
  lying dead on the ground

The devil left crying
  —salvation unbound
