In the name of religion,
in the name of ideology,
in the name of hatred justified,
lives are lost,
lives destroyed,
fear and turmoil rage
like a monster
out of control,
and rationality is buried
in the sacred soil. .

In the name of a cause
that is not about peace,
there is savagery,
atrocities, inhumanity,
and all this for satisfying
an imaginary god
and valuing death over life.

What would it be like
to sit at the same table and
share in the feast that is life?

What would it be like to
package up hate and throw
it into the bottomless sea?
