what is it in your belief
that sets the rest to feel unrest?
what is it in your faith
that makes the globe to separate?
what is it in your mind
that makes you think others are unkind?
what is it in you eyes?
that makes me want to cry
have you been to paradise?
have you tried to be nice?
eyes could be very deceiving
it sees only the exterior meaning
leaving the character in the sludge
fated to be snubbed and disparaged
if we have different points of view
if we have different ways to lionize
if we have different things in mind
why do you have to go against mine?
what difference would it make
to bicker to a different race?
but to gain a nemesis instead of a comrade
isn't it that judgement is for God
then leave that job to our God
religions are supposed to bridge the gap
and not to widen nor prolong the scrap
Great poem Lola,
I especially love the
final couplet:
"religions are supposed to bridge the gap
and not to widen nor prolong the scrap."
I agree.
