A new day

Dusk meets dawn for a new day,
But looking outside everything is iffy,
Stepping out for a new day,
Ignoring the dangers of the streets blithely,

Religions misinterpreted, the books wrongly read,
Dressed in blood, praying to the Lord,
Instead of spreading knowledge, hatred is shared,
Killing for pleasure, feeling no remorse

People just stand up and start foment,
Coming together to form an angry mob, 
Causing people pain, loss and torment,
Coming together as gangs of yobs

Innocent people under incarceration,
Their families fight back causing more destruction,
With all the accumulated anguish and sorrow,
They fight like there's no tomorrow

Women bloodied,
Children wounded, 
Fathers slaughtered,
In front of their daughters

Why do you do this? 
I ask
He says, they killed my people,
Ruining them is my unfinished task

We all want this war to stop,
It has caused us enough loss,
But no one wants to look like a wimp,
But really he'd be the one who isn't weak

What happened to the people,
The people who were altruistic,
The people now,
Are Violent, selfish and barbaric

The people given accolades,
Are the ones responsible for this wiles,
People without knowledge,
Deceiving others with stupid lies

This war is nothing but vain,
Little by little the people whittle,
You should help me when I'm in pain,
Instead you mock me, laugh and giggle

Is this what your Lord thought you?
To cause others misery and misfortune,
Be the change that you preach,
Start from the things in your immediate reach
