Dear friends, I wish to declare to you in writing Something that in life I never told you About a hateful tyrannical and evil lie Rooted in the silence of reasonable minds The religions in the world They are inventions and purely human institutions Those who invented them used a god For laws and commandments to be enforced False, false mysteries, false, false solemnities and false divine worship With the pretext of heaven, they give you a life of misery With the excuse of another non-existent life The imaginary penalties of an invented hell I wish that all the great And noble of the earth Be hanged and strangled With the guts of the priests So much stupidity my dear friends Don't be led by these hypocrites Through these words I offer you a means So that, if you want to, you can free yourself All religions and political laws Are detestable mysteries of inequity Priests and authorities seize you They will indoctrinate and hold you captive! Religions do not and cannot contribute Strong reasons or evidence of credibility Nor the prophecies of the supposed saints Nor their alleged acts in the name of divinity Religion forces you to believe in absurd things It endorses principles that disrupt nature Allows tyranny, authorizes vexations against justice A yoke of dominance against humanity False, false mysteries, false, false solemnities and false divine worship With the pretext of heaven, they give you a life of misery With the excuse of another non-existent life The imaginary penalties of an invented hell I wish that all the great And noble of the earth Be hanged and strangled With the guts of the priests So much stupidity my dear friends Don't be led by these hypocrites Through these words I offer you a means So that, if you want to, you can free yourself All religions and political laws Are detestable mysteries of inequity I already take almost no part in what is done in the world The dead, whom I am about to join, no longer worry about anything So, I will finish this with nothing I am hardly more than nothing and soon will be nothing...
