Poem
Men of Islam, why do you kill? For religions enforcing will Thru rhetoric and words of men Interpretations profound in them But just their vision, all they see No truth in hatred, chained, unfree For God or Allah, what's in a name The one deity, all the same Do you believe that he asks sin From those who wish to worship him? Or is that just what some do see As a means to gain eternity? One Kingdom is what we will share Just as one earth is ours to bear No book, Bible, Koran or page Encourages such killing rage Words are twisted, their meanings burn Man simply doesn't hear or learn For the soul of man is unpure Egos, greed, held fast in its store Motives, quests, to further a cause Are glories of men, not God's Laws For it would never be his will To encourage man to hate or kill Blood spilled upon the hardened land Hatred filled pyramids of sand All castles built to worship men Violence, bullets, man's best friend Religion's cloak worn well by man Woman's voices too afraid to demand So walk silently in your quake Hating but enduring men's mistake Bearing children, new future's voice Watching sadly at their only choice Molded staunchly in father's way Generations suffer, who will pay? Men of Islam, look deep inside See where evil chooses to hide Raise your children to see the sun Not judge and mistrust everyone Look beneath religion's fine garb To see what monsters sling such barb As a snake, coiled ready to strike Future feels religions harsh bite Men of Islam, lift holy veil For it but covers men so frail Offering shelter and disguise A place for evils growth and lies
