Of Inquisitions And Jihads Poem by Alfred Barna

Of Inquisitions And Jihads



Within my heart, it is beyond explanation
Whether for state or religion to force men's will
What omnipotent being would ask me for desolation?
Or government; to then lead me on, then to kill
Subjugating men to accept anyone's ideas
Is pitiful in my eyes, if my beliefs we so full of truth
Why would I torture those who believe otherwise with fears?
And murder the innocents from aged down to their youths
Whether Red Terror of seeing something, whisper something to say
So that an apparatus must then be force feeding a mind
Or goose stepping Thuggery within the night to whisk away
Then how can we and our humanity hang by a thread not behind
There is not a single man upon this earth without sin
Yet easily we are casting the stones upon those we hate
We are so easily taken astray for agendas that evil will begin
And only after the catastrophes are done, sorrow too late
We have had two world wars, brethren why wage one more
For us to sit back and not so soon render judgment in haste
History has shown, too few with too much power; an evil door
Let us look within ourselves before laying our Earth down to waste
There is a battle always, for mind, for body, and for soul
Deluded by those, who claim to be better men, (you must agree)
And how somehow, it is they, who should subsume all control
Indeed, there are no better ones among us, other than just you and me
We should stop giving our pledges to those who deserve none
Then suddenly the wars in this world, would be slowly undone

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Aloha Alfred... Really good free write my brother bard... Indeed, there are no better ones among us, other than just you and me... A cosmic truth this is! Herein lays the problem... What universal teachings imply this as a basic humane truth? Let US grab onto that concept and expand upon the results of such teaching... Through a more studious effort, you can let your ideals and ideas flow out to the all of US... Do a personally involved rewrite of this post... take some time to meld the concepts you present into a form... a truly poetic one... your efforts will be your reward... All of the best from this life, to you, and all of your relations... Michaelw1two.
