this seriously put tears in my eyes. It's so
beautiful and I too hate the religious violence
that plagues our world. it's nice to see
someone writing about loving and respecting
all religions instead of loving only those who
subscribe to your own narrow beliefs. I loved
this poem thanks for sharing.

Nay, it never ends in this world, sadly.

Life on this earth is good and evil, light and darkness so heart-wrenchingly mixed. Fighting even for Light is not perfect, and Light is so hard to recognize sometimes.

Good piece.
