Notes About The Poem

The pesky fly

“please stop religious fundamentalism ~
just let God’s light ignite mind-body prism”
            ~ quote by poet


If you believe in this and I in that,
just let it be dear heart, just let it be,
for there is on my door no welcome mat
and since with your scripture I don’t agree,
know that your next victim cannot be me.
Consider what if our roles are reversed
and you are by opposing views coerced,
where I say it’s my way or the highway,
would then you not feel that you have been cursed,
to suffer at my hands day after day?
