Tolerance, temerity and truth

A virus spreads
the militant nature of man.
Violence breeds violence
igniting the passions
that burn within.

Death to enemies yet unknown
hatred soon to be sown.
Responding to man’s vacuity
with anger and rage
are all that is his own.

Recruit the oppressed,
prey on the ignorant, the poor.
Offer hope and rejoice,
join ranks, die a martyr.

Spare no one from terror,
spread humiliation and despair.
Rebel against wrongs,
though not real, but perceived.
To find a gem of peace is rare.

Values misunderstood
Every human being has worth.
Extremists encourage spiritual dread
Peace comes from tolerance,
temerity and truth.
