Tolerance

Garnet Smith
We don't remember,
The crusades that killed millions,
The thirty years war that ravaged our lands,
We dont remember.
The centuries of indifference,
Detaching us from one another,
Festering pool of animosity,
Laced with thorns and lies.
Society continues blindly,
As years of bloodshed,
Cant be swabbed up,
With a filthy rag.
Firm and beautiful faiths,
Unlawful misplaced hate,
Shattered and bleeding world,
Cruel intolerance of beliefs.
We define our religion,
Endorse the act of tolerance,
Fellow man liberated,
No longer shackled by intention.
No longer unfairly subjugated,
Blossom into aspiration,
Righteous in our new vibration,
We are finally free.
Passing through a forsaken tunnel,
Ascending into light,
The judgment road,
Filled with cracks and potholes.
The gift of religion,
Should be embraced,
Foreseeable passage,
Into our retrogression.

Broken and unused gyroscope,

Simple notion of human hope,
So many perceptions,
So much deception.
There is no one truth,
And that lies,
In the eyes,
Of the beholder.
