Terence Alexander Cupit Poet Verse

This Is War

Shia and sunni.Religion at war.Do these brothers and sisters,know what they fight for?
As you may know,a man once proclaimed! I am the last,Of prophets of old.
The years go by.The prophet grows old.Should he chose his successor,or wait and be bold?
Soon though it was over,final breath was exhaled.About the successor the followers said,who did he chose from the fold? 
This man one said,no that man fell dead.Here's the next prophet! No that isn't said!!
Fourteen centuries later.The war rages on.Should anyone takes sides? Oh no,that has been done.Shia and sunni.Religion at war.Do these brothers and sisters,know what they fight for?

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
