A V a L a N C H E

A strong and deep suspicion lies deep within my brain. Vast images of cruelty it seems in some religions name. A cry for peace and understanding goes unanswered time and time again. Let people burn and die in shame. A politician shouts loudly "Stop this madness" It seems his screams are all in vain. No one can see the sense in all this reckless pain. Caring people flock to heal the injured so infection has no gain. Hold tight and be together they begs us nightly, again in peace these people shall not reign. End this senseless torture "surely there is no reason for this" not in any religions name.
