What could be more unifying
than a belief in the divine
whose precepts begin with love
and charity urging believers to
be as one in their care for one
another with the ultimate goal
of achieving peace. Veneration
of the spirit that guides leads
followers to prize the unseen
guiding hand of humanity above
life itself the very same gift the
faith has bestowed upon mortals.
Misfortune it is indeed that human
nature while mouthing the tenets
inspiring that faith turns venomous
and deadly toward those espousing
a variant in descent of the leader
who brought down sacred scripture
to passionate followers who turn
their raging spite to lethal attacks
slaughtering those they deem infidels
and betrayers of the one true faith
above all others as tokens of esteem
for the omnipresent spirit gently
lauding peace while directing those
of faith to leave no stone unturned
in punishment of those spurning the
god-driven imperative to surrender.
