Muslims…indeed Christians - Specifically Identifying...A Few Poem by James B. Earley
Muslims…indeed Christians - Specifically Identifying...A Few
Fanatical extremism
Under guise of God
Self-serving philosophy's
……Satanic…..facade
A future precarious
Perhaps destiny's choice
Be it radical…..Islam
Or Christianity's voice
Religious..radicalism
…Ain't nothing new
Hiroshima…Nagasaki
…Recalling….a few
American….Slavery
…..On stolen….land
Hitler……….I've read…
Was a Christian man
Scoundrels…historical
…Notorious outlaws
Islam……..Christianity
Both laden with flaws
In the final……analysis…
Is a promised beheading
…Morally….any different
Than drones folks dreading
Within that conundrum
……The message….reveals
A lecture on the idiocy
….Its hypocrisy conceals
Of….a radicalism…religious
…Gone critically……askew
Muslims…indeed Christians...
Specifically identifying a few
Author's Note:
'The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.'

As for the wisdom of Twain, I'd say he's right. All religions are false, after all, for they all depend upon one's own goodness and strength. The only true way to salvation, however, comes in form of the shedding of the blood of a perfect man. No regular man is perfect, so his would never do. Not even if he tried for a million years. As for your poem, it's very well written and I love the structure. Well done.
