The Fray Of Conviction


I see no justice
Beneath the shades of myriad baseless holy wars
Barricading clemency with rancorous walls
Hewed from the bricks of greed and anomalies

Embedded in the rigorous fray of conviction for spiritual solace
Is the triumph of religious fanaticism.
Muslims, Christians, aren’t we all the same?
Inventively crafted by an architect naive of racism

Doctrines may differ
Siblings we shall remain though domiciles and distances apart
Nay, it matters not how far nor status at par
For as long as the embers of love forever linger in our hearts

Many are the afflictions of the hopeless and helpless
In times we cuddle egocentrism with sharing of less kindness.
Where have we gone wrong for such odium to overshadow us?
That being humane feels lame, elongating the pervasive acrid fuss

To our faces are the engravings on the wall spelling unity
With much there is to gain in amity.
In seeing we all engage in some puerile defiance for religious superiority
What will Christ, Krishna, Allah or Mohammad do?


All are part of one big cosmic family
Deserving to live in peace, fulfillment and ever after happily.
Days are fleeting spawning evil. The end is near
And if we must surpass our flaws and overcome our gruesome fears,
Trading hypocrisy for pious affections to one another
Would be the best bet to take starting now and right here.
