Array ( [sid] => 129940 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Truth of a Fanatic [time] => 2006-12-29 21:49:38 [hometext] => This poem tells all about one being fanatic [bodytext] => I was born as a Hindu in my motherland
My ancestors spelled the way of life, from whom I descend
My friends are of different religions in the same land
When we befriend, why should there be a cause to defend?

Our forefathers advocated us the way of life
It`s not a religion for which people have strife
To this way of life, people have remained robotic
Why should one take that for being a Fanatic?

Do people fight for the god or for the religion?
If god is omnipotent, let him find the solution
If you should remain a true devotee of your lord,
Does he dictate to destroy other religions? Oh god!

These ways of life changed from community to community
Environs to bring the change can be another raison d'être
If you reason this difference you are really a human
If you cannot, you are an animal or inhuman

Their greatest mistake is not treading the path of forefathers
They have not even committed to the true sense of their prayers
They have made life on earth, turn from peace to tragic
This is all about the truth of one being a Fanatic

In a world so mixed up this really brought forth alot to think about. You did a nice job with the overall writing as well as the message.
