Catholic Protestant Muslim or Jews
Look at each other with frightening views
What are we doing
this isn't gods plan
We are meant to be brothers
this family of man
But there seems to be something
that gets in the way
Confusing ours minds
from what his words say
Love each other
the gist of his book
No matter the language
or how it may look
I've missed something
I don't understand
WHO is it then
if it isn't Gods hand
What darkens dreams
with hatred and fear
Fogging our vision
till nothing is clear
Sharpens our rage
with a point of a knife
Who sends the misguided
cause loss of life
Who wants the world
to tremble and shake
Who feeds on  terror
sorrow his wake
Who breaks the spirit
then fills it with hate
Demonic decisions
sealing their fate
Who takes a man
and warps his soul
Death and destruction
his ultimate goal
Who turns souls black
with power or greed
Who preaches hate
planting the seed
For the slaughter of others
but who will we blame
The ultimate evil
it's done in Gods name

Yes some stupid people forgot it's the same Power they all believe in, whether they call him God, Allah or Jehova or whatever other name.

It's such a waste of energy to fight over religion, but mankind has done that from the very beginning.

To me, it doesn't matter in what or who one believes as long as they respect the other

Great poem

Nice Poem,
In Christ's Love, †
Heather (aka CherokeeGirl)

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.
