Fearsome Fanaticism


Could the contrasts be more starkly oppositional? 

Those lunatic tenets of a mind void of humanity 

for they are steeped deep in theistic dogma that 

life has one purpose only to 'submit' to the Almighty

dedicating life to expanding the mindless worship 

of a vengeful vision of creation whose possessive

claim of spreading peace through belief compels

the faithful to go forth and coerce, threaten or kill

to achieve adherents, for where belief lives there

also lives peace even while its stalwarts freely

distribute the gift of death to those who balk. The 

obverse is that where resistance to heavenly edicts 

exist there lives war. The House of Peace struggles 

with the despised denial of the House of War

the twisted concept the product of malevolent minds 

yet so powerful a magnet is it that there is no

scarcity of believers prepared to martyr themselves 

and others so that  all may appear for judgement

the murder/martyr lionized, victims consigned to hell.
