Ancient civilization mushroomed in a fashion
But stood like rock for future anticipation
Brotherhood and faith were the corner stone
But in space of time everything has gone
What did it give in for future generation?
Bloody wars and seizure of land with annexation
Compulsory conversion and forceful adoption
We all know people has no other option
Yet there remained firm belief
The name of god or almighty gave them relief
The meaning of good and evil was made understood
Religion and faith became integral part as food
Feudal system too prevailed with same ideology
One religion to be spread over on the name of almighty
No option but only to witness bloodshed and surrender
That was the royal decree and special order
Emergence of somewhat liberal system brought changes
The education and wealth brought about ways to manage
Even though that remained as secret agenda for many states
The moot point was to grant liberation without any dictate
Yet religion stood at the root in the mind of the people
With only one hope that it may ward off any trouble
God may help and side with their truthful pray
Grant prosperity and evil might be kept away
Let there be thousands of religion
Each one has its importance in the regions
It lightens mood early in the morning
When we hear name of the god and face turns shining
We sincerely bow head in recognition
For many religions who have strong inhibitions
Let them pray, preach and propagate in their own way
It must remain distant dream to spread the terror and sway

May Fenn1 minute ago I think poetry, especially that carrying a message, is meant to be read aloud. With this poem it is impossible to do because the poet has used words that look as though they rhyme but do not. And one finds oneself faltering beause one tries to make it rhyme. I think it would be better suited if written in blank verse. Comment +1 I'm not too big on religion.
