living in a world so broken
where religion breaking the backbone
that was once developed, built by love
was religion ever meant, to follow dear God?
I ask every heart with hatred
fail to understand the need to kill
Christian, Hindu, Muslim or Sikh
were they all not born
with two eyes, two hands, and a heart
A Church, a Temple or a Mosque
don’t they all hold the same peace
aren’t they all sacred the same way
don’t they all stay in our hearts
why in the name of God
souls are driven by cruelty
bright red color of our blood
gradually turning into black
its smooth flow to our hearts
fenced, stuck
our eyes refusing to see the truth
how could we believe only in lies
senselessly replacing love
with the poison of religion
don’t we belong to humanity
are we all not human
time has come to stand up to protest
shall we open our arms
to embrace our sisters and brothers
regardless of the religion they follow
with firm belief
shall we spread the message of love
for that’s one thing desired so dearly
by our True God divine

Absolutely! The two greatest commandments: Love the Lord your God above anything and anyone, and Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself! People like to try and dismiss people as their neighbors, but the idea is that God loves them, so we should love them too. The neighbor is anyone whom you come into contact with in your life’s movements. Only need to look at the Good Samaritan story to see that this is what God means! I really felt sad when I read your post, but I really agree with you completely! God does also, we are to love people as he loves them. Unfortunately, a lot of people get caught up in their “religion” and forget the purpose of it is to worship God, and obedience to God by loving others…even those who seem unlovable is the ultimate form of showing God that you love Him! It is much better to him than all the songs that a person could sing! Satan uses religion to separate people from loving each other all the time. Loved the post!

You have really explained it so well my dear. God loves his people and God loves peace. Religion is the creation of humans to control things and few of them are using it against humanity. Thanks for reading my love.

Very nice poem. I completely agree. I think God is all powerful and all loving and far beyond how any system can attempt to describe Him. I believe there are elements of truth in all religions, and actually do believe in the divinity of Christ, but I see religion being used too often by evil people as an excuse to do what their hearts already want them to do – murder, lie, control. As I put in my novel on my blog, “as if God, the creator, was a possession that could be claimed and owned by warring peoples. Ridiculous!”

You have said it so right! God is love and peace. There is no book of religion that ever talks about killings or war. It is all created by few minds who are greedy of power who want to use religion as a tact.. simply Divide and Rule. Unfortunately, religion is a very easy one to get people fall for.
