Faith

Faith is in us all no matter what sect.
Many have died in the name of faith.
What you believe is what you respect.
It is internal and eternal love with wraith.
To fight to impale ones believe on another.
Has always placed one against their brother,
Free will given in every religion to see,
Not to place war and death to any decree,
Whatever the name, you believe is the one.
Faith must come from within; then it has won.
Enforcement of any faith shall be the end.
Not one Supreme Being, forces his belief.
The key to any kingdom may be only to send.
Learn that faith is personal to everyone’s relief.
