In idiocy's disguise is malice
A malice so often unwarranted
Upon a nameless, faceless foe
Whose mere image distasteful
But a common man, unmerited
Hatred wheeled by an ignorance
They that have no cause for such
Fallen captives to disseminated lies
Because reason has not matured
Within them is yet a child's mind
Their bounty of hate like a cancer
It spreads to infect the unthinking
Crushing the productivity of man
It's path is but destruction incarnate
Blind to innocence and guiltless
The voice of hatred, a voice of death
For martyrs plod their way to oblivion
Their mothers weep in their loss
Mourning the hate bequeathed so
That shone a path to their demise
What is it that merger men challenge
Their God's intentions deemed so
Mortal men usurp the creator
To destroy his blesses creatures
Misinterpreting his words, acts
Why is it so that those who show
The paths to martyrdom dire
N'er walk upon its troubled road
Only to point the way, n'er to see
Its abysmally darkened end
All worshipping the same intangible
A god of differing names, the same
Whose word is of peace and good
What man will find paradise then
Who would destroy his creations
What greater wrong than be given
Reason is to think, to gain wisdom
To know that men's words differ
But God's are good and peaceful
Only a fool throws away life so
Hatred and war bring defeat
The hatred and killing of others
It is the slaying of their souls
Not for others, but for oneself
Living, the dead haunt themselves
The dead hide beneath the ground
They find peace in hatred's folly
In the end naught is of naught
The cursed are those who judged
In his court they were unqualified
The struggle of religions concealed
Its patsy deemed racism instead
Yet men are all the same there
And God, then knows no religion
Does then religion know of God
Such abstractions that men fight
Freedom is innocuous prudently
Some will always take too much
Claiming to be victims of order
Pilfering lives, and purveying lies
Hatred and victims are always one
Walking hand in hand never free
Tethered to destruction of all
Lending excuses to sedition
For those of selfish intentions
But always in the end it is the same
The serpent kept to bosom strikes
Its malevolent nature a surprise
To one that nurtured it so well
Ignorant, uncaring, and breathless
