Do I Like Muslims

Do I like Muslims? A Christ was born to lead a way To alter what the Jews had taught But there would come a time someday His teachings would be all for naught Religiously, politically He gave his life for his belief The Catholics came to give relief THEN A Messenger of God had come To spread the word to all his tribes recorded by his fervent scribes And founded Islam as the word Muhammed’s word is now in strife With terror and the loss of life The media has taken hold Including those not in their fold We must give credence to the theme That man is safe within his soul And this should be his only dream That friendship is the only goal Religion spanned two thousand years With blessings and a flood of tears A prayer to Him to make things right So we can scan a better light Do I like Muslims, you would ask Whose hand I shake I’m not aware His ethnic group or creed to care That would not be my greatest task To those who falsely preach Islam Upon the bodies laid to rest Whose life is just a fallen palm Allah will take them to His breast I like Muslims Poetry Contest Sponsored by Janice Canery August 31, 2017
