The Religion Of Mob
Hey stranger,
you are not what you appeared to be-
someone different from the others
but you turned out to be the same,
part of the evil mob surging on the dark streets
blinded by their mad, blind hatred annihilating 'them'
you are just another commoner
finding an excuse to thrash a few,
to vent out your frustrations, your insecurities
you unleash your inner demons on the innocent.
Your chest swells with pride
as you call yourself a warrior of your community
you revel in the anonymity that internet provides
and viciously attack those who hold a different opinion.
a venomous creature you have hidden carefully
behind your educated, sophisticated, suave demeanor.
my language, my people, my country, my water,
my land, my religion...to defend and safeguard them
you switch identities with the ease of a chameleon.
you are nothing but a pack of rabid trolls.
Preachers of religion, leaders of politics, masters of society
the toxic seeds of mutual distrust, social divide, discrimination,
intolerance and fanaticism that you sowed
have spread their fangs and tentacles around us.
bitter, ugly it may be but the truth is that
a bigoted mob follows only the religion of violence and hatred,
the mob which pours poison in 'their' roots
in order to save 'our own' roots-
now you remember only the name of your religion,
the religion of humanity...what's that?
