Life

Life I’ve fully lived you, I regret not			                      
        To me this poison isn’t new, I regret not  		
        Loyalty is my passion and sincerity my religion    	
        If anguish and pain grew, I regret not

	Lust, greed, jealousy and prejudice			
        Bigotry, extremism, terrorism, caprice                            	
        The devilish deeds in the name of religion			
        How they lure, how they entice
		
	I’ve learnt to subdue my desires, I regret not               	
        I’ve no ruby and sapphires, I regret not 	               
	It’s love alone I treasure most			              
	The evil has built empires, I regret not
