In the Name of Peace!

 

A steeple falls in the name of God.
Flamed words ignite an ancient mosque.
Truces mutilated to pieces.
All, in the Name of Peace!

 

A fake crack-down launched
by ‘guardians’ of law,
adorning medalled uniforms.
All, in the Name of Peace!

 

Open graves shelter the departed.
Lying there, someone has risen,
Saying: Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!
All in the Name of Peace.
