Catholic Protestant
Muslim and Jews
Look at each other
With frightening views

What are we doing
This isn't God's plan
We are meant to be brothers
Our family of man

There seems to be something
That gets in the way
Confusing ours minds
From what his words say

Love one another
The gist of his book
No matter the language
Nor how it may look

I've missed something
I don't understand
WHO is it then
If it isn't God's hand

Who darkens dreams
With hatred and fear
Clouding our vision
Till nothing is clear

Sharpens our rage
At the point of a knife
Who sends the misguided
To cause loss of life

Who wants the world
To tremble and shake
Who takes innocent
Lives in his wake

Who breaks a spirit
Then fills it with hate
Demonic decisions
Sealing their fate

Who takes a man
And warps his soul
Death and destruction
His devious goal

Who turns souls black
With power or greed
Who preaches hate
Planting the seed

For slaughter of others
But who do we blame
The ultimate evil
It's done in God's name

Structure, or content?

If it's content, there is no pro/con.
Just the question

I think this is one powerful and honest poem.  Wonderfully written -- all around one helluva poem!  Good job.
