Playing With Innocence Minds Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Playing With Innocence Minds

Rating: 5.0

In the name of religion how shamelessly they preach
but when I pierce their words, it has nothing but deceit
spreading hate and inciting violence is their motto
misleading the youth with their false guidance is their lotto
with fiery speeches and twisted tales
they try to justify their hateful trails
manipulating minds, poisoning hearts
their agenda tearing society apart.

Using religion as a tool for their gain
they instill fear, they cause pain
blinded by their own narrow beliefs
they turn a deaf ear to reason and peace
lies upon lies, they continue to spread
filling the minds of the innocent with dread
they hide behind the cloak of faith
but their actions are nothing but a disgrace.

A generation led astray by their cunning ways
their hatred growing with each passing day
divided by the walls of religion and hate
we forget that we are all human, before it's too late
let us not be fooled by their empty words
let us not be swayed by their hateful swords
for true religion preaches love and unity
not division and spreading of lies, so empty.

All the religions of the world speak of truth and love. Yet, when they are misinterpreted and and misused, it leads to violence.

Such an enlightening poem! I wish the fanatics and politicians refrain from using religion as a tool as a means to their selfish ends.

When religion is mixed with politics, it's a deadly combination. Unfortunately religion has been a weapon in the hands of the manipulative minds. Sadly it is used in power politics as a tool to control and coerce. Thought provoking piece!
