Dear God
Some Muslims have been fighting for a while
to force people to worship God their style.
In Syria a deep and wounding fissure
between the I.S and the Christian Militia.
Some Hindus and some Sikhs just don't get on
and won't be happy until one of them is gone.
And the Buddhists persecuted in Tibet
by some Communists who haven't got God yet.
In an old Jerusalem church, though quite aloof
seven faiths have lots of bust-ups on the roof.
All religions that are based on peace and love:
well- it looks like someone went and shot the dove.
And on high, with exasperated frown
the one who made us sadly gazes down
on those who maim and murder in his name
yet he still loves each one of them the same.
