T'Error'Ism
Do I define terrorism
as a state of spiritual vandalism?
Or is it a group in minority
expressing their superiority
by murdering and sucking up humanity,
As a deity watches on an unrelated entity.
To our eyes it brings tears of sorrow.
We can only imagine the world of tomorrow.
Violence, bloodshed and prayerful murder,
Beaten, bruised and unimaginably tortured.
Civilians who live hopeless lives,
Happiness extinguished by faithful lies.
How can we hope to see the light?
When blinding darkness shines far more bright?
Can a single religion establish peace?
This very idea is a gnarled disease.
We worship the same god, in one form or another
and fight within our faiths, one form or another.
Catholics and Protestants, Jews and Gentiles,
Shaivas and Vaishnavas, Sunnis and Shias.
Small drops of water between fingers may slip,
but water when together, holds up a ship.
Follow ones own faith and preach your grace,
Religion maybe good, but not at the cost of human race.
