with religious propaganda
of the most fundamentalist
half baked semi accurate
dangerous twisted bigoted...
unlearned kind lurks mad potential
for righteous self justified crimes...
racist ignorance religiously justified
such ignorance can really get
in a man's woman's face
be embarrassing when a cultural
rabid fool blown public disgrace...
can demean good people
who do not happen to profess
to or believe in the truth
of the true Christian faith...
'judge not least you yourself be judged'
is a wise policy to remind hard core extremists
get back to basics love covers a multiple of sins
against gentleness self-control there are no laws...

I would like to translate this poem
The interesting thing about this poem is the fourth stanza hook, can demean good people who do not happen to profess to or believe in the truth of the true Christian faith... This is an example from the western perspective of judging other people according to a specific religious viewpoint. If I originated in an Islamic or Hindu culture, the hook would have been the true Islamic or Hindu faith. The point being missed by intolerant believers, and resented by atheists and believers in other faiths being persecuted throughout the world; is true believers of any faith do not judge; they know judgement belongs to God. True believers live a life of tolerance and give love kindness and aid to all in need, regardless of religious belief or the absence of such belief. The last stanza is the point of the poem, intolerant believers always miss the obvious, love not hate is what God desires from faithful believers. Free choice demands reason, wisdom, maturity and love for others, not blind hatred; against compassion, kindness, love for others; against gentleness self-control there are no laws....
