Religion, politics, Peace?
In the world where religion meets politics,
A turbulent landscape, a battleground of conflicts.
Two mighty forces clash, with no peace in sight,
A never-ending struggle, an eternal fight.
Religion, a lantern guiding the human soul,
Politics, a game where power takes its toll.
With fervent conviction, people take their stand,
Debating and proclaiming, across the land.
Dogmas entwined with ideologies of might,
Faith and power, merging in the midst of the fight.
Seeking control, both sides stake their claim,
Igniting flames of discord, igniting hearts aflame.
In the halls of governance, laws are debated,
Religious beliefs intertwined, affiliations stated.
Leaders and clerics, invoking divine decree,
Yet division and turmoil are all we see.
In this intricate dance of doctrine and rule,
Boundaries blur, leaving hearts and minds cruel.
The whispers of spirituality lost amidst the noise,
As the thirst for power erodes all joys.
We yearn for harmony amidst this raging storm,
For compassion and understanding to reform.
Politicians, religious leaders, hear our plea,
Bridge the chasm, let tolerance run free.
For no peace can be found, no unity gained,
In a world where religion and politics remain estranged.
Let our wisdom guide our choices, love guide our way,
To find a common ground, together, we may.
Religion and politics, entwined in our fate,
But it's compassion and respect that must resonate.
Let us seek understanding, embrace diversity,
To build a future where peace can truly be.
Though the road may be long, and the battle fierce,
With empathy as our sword, we must break through the pierce.
There must be in the hearts of humanity, where a flicker of hope can be found,
That one day, religion and politics may be unbound?
Will Peace and harmony ever be found?
