DOGMA

 

I destroyed the kingdom walls

Blazed the bastion sacred

Crushed the ego of the holy

Now the soldiers draw their swords

I fight for my own freedom

Till my sword loses its sharpness

Till the last drop of my blood

A war, battle for my kind.

I bravely served my only God.

People get blinded by so many things even in religion for they can't or don't understand its true message so based on ignorance they fight and kill in the name of God and cause injustice. I'm not saying they don't have the right to believe and defend their beliefs but let us not take God's name in vain and use religion as a weapon to serve the few...
A very good write...:)

Organized religion is sadly the catalyst for most un'god'ly wars, this is a GRAND message here Marc. Bravo you.

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Thanks Frie that's really resonates, if we look around this really the factor why the world turn into chaos.

[Rita L. Sev]

Wonderful, and with a very apt title. It is always the dogmas of religion for which people will fight, or kill. The positive essence of a faith - loving your neighbor, for example - these get lost in the anger. So sad. Great write!

Your insight is the truth of this never ending war in religion, thanks Ms. Rita for your time reading my work.

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem. Soldier's serve and die. Old favorite saying. "All Soldiers find their God in the foxhole." A lot said in the short poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thanks Sir, your words is always a wisdom being the person experienced have first hand about war. Thanks a lot for your time reading my work. I appreciate it much!

[Pete Langley]

This is dramatic graphic terrifying verse full of fervour, Marc. I love it. You have, I think, a `tense` problem in two lines. Line 4 should read "have drawn" or "draw", and line6 should be "loses". Hope this helps. P.
