​RELIGION

​Wondrous game of high magnitude
Amazing draft of concrete confusion
Bewilderment of wonderment,
Overhauling the human race.

See, religion is speeding
On a flight of light
Advancing in amazement
Chasing humanity far away.

Religion, religiosity
Bondage of unfathomable force
Grip of incomprehensible might
Tunnel of abysmal depth.

Blind, blinded, blindfold, blindfolded
Dark light of darkness
Thick clouds of poisonous smoke,
Choking the world.

WAR

​Business of few
Gain of a handful
Maze of complicated plan,
Trade by barter.

Weapons and ammunitions
Experiments and launchings
Technical lies and diplomatic deceits
Political competitions and religious manoeuvres.

Wars, warring women and children
Wars, killing soldiers
Wars, destroying nations
Wars, wiping generations
Wars, feeding the rich.

The subterfuge, the camouflage, the sabotage
Green snake on a green grass
Red carpets, green chambers, white houses
Pinnacles and miracles,
Diamond heads, golden chests, silver knights
Gems of rareness, fleets of blue blood
Diminishing the unborn.

Global warming
 Climate change
Wearing out men,
Changing women
Bruising children
Burning mankind.
