Notes About The Poem

religious fundamentalists

they lurk everywhere
religious fundamentalists 
preying upon the unwary
stalking, seeking to convert
anyone they can get hold of

for them it is a do or die mission
attempting to thrust their faith
upon innocent bystanders passing by
interfering with God-bestowed free will
pursuing their ‘cause’ brazenly in public

what drives them to do this we wonder
as they go around waving posters
pictures, symbols, quotes from scriptures 
but the truth of the matter really is
they have not seen God face to face

we apologise if we sound judgmental 
but had the religious fundamentalists seen God 
they would have realised the simple truth
that He is formless living light and agape love 
and we likewise are as He, made in His image

when will the blind stop leading the blind?

I love the depth of what youv conveyed here! Powerful poem, pleasure reading. Sending you light always Unseeking Seeker December 16, 2024 at 3:40 AM Thanks IE. I feel aversion when I see bigots thrusting their beliefs on others. I shouldn’t feel that way perhaps but I do, considering the harm they do in God’s name.
