In God's Name? ! ! ! Poem by Amal Alawar

An eye for an eye 👀...,
and the world goes blind
Seems like people...,
are out of mind 😲

The killings... the news 📺
Horrific acts... abuse 😖
A world in turmoil...
Disturbance that brews

Bashing humanity... in God's name! ! ! 😈
Why are you using his name in vain? ! !
God is for all... not an excuse! ! !
He is not mine & sure not yours
So stop the madness, use your brain
Don't be a zealot, don't be insane...

I am no preacher, I'm just a Druze
I don't point fingers 👈, I don't accuse
I don't see God as lucrative business💰
I just see him... a sign of forgiveness

I pray for thee to become humane 😇
To stop the chaos and stop the pain
To have a world where you and me
Will have a tomorrow and a future to see
