Glinting edge of the blade; shone bright
despite the absence of light.Bit blunt now,
that it has cut many a strings;
In the name of religion.
Eyes don't see and ears fail
to hear, the sound of the hearts
dear. Humanity fallen prey to barbaric
shenanigans.
In the name of religion.
Slain throats, forgotten heartbeats
under the sands of
battleground. Shredded dreams
in the depth of darkness,
In the name of religion.
No reason fathoms in the blade
It cuts through everything
no choices made, yet the eyebrow
doesn't move …
In the name of religion
Dreams don't have a religion
No religion of smiles too
Hearts beat everywhere
is it not true?
let the edge of blade
not be the residence;
of religious incidence.
Dreams don't have a religion No religion of smiles too Hearts beat everywhere let the edge of blade not be the residence; of religious incidence. Lovely ending of the poem. May I say that its not the religion its individual and group's perception of religions that comes in the way of getting along. All religions in my view teach humanity, equality and respect for the difference. Rehana Nazli
Yes it is true as Indira says - we use Religion to suit our own ends...Religion was meant to bring about peace and harmony - in the eyes of God all men are equal...

I agree with you Nikunj and I feel the great prophets of the world teach come to teach humanity of love and to treat others as we ourselves would like to be treated. But humanity very often remembers the Messenger and forgets the message. Then there are the wars of power where religions fight against each other. I see you are a deep thinker and philosopher and you have skillfully portrayed your thoughts with this brilliant poem. 10 love Karin
