In a Name
A name
older than words themselves
Lost in time
hidden among shadows
Fables only mention of it
tales only gives hints
of the power behind it
Secret societies gather
all writings of it
but fail to understand
its wonder
its beauty
Instead
many have killed
causing unwanted pain
in the name
so many hold dear
In the name of one god
or another
how many will suffer
in the search of who is right
The very heavens cry
when another is slain
when killed for a name
