What do you think this poem is about?   Someone tell me it isn't
the truth— Who could imagine a slaughter this magnitude?
People's passions viciously fused For the worst of reasons to be
used.  A war between ideas, far and near, Yet both sides have
reasons to be feared. Populations ignorant of religion's steer—
Infiltrated by extremists in political careers.  How many must
die before we realize That punishment and "justice" combine to
form a lie? Humans are known for their ability to idealize, Yet
many still mourn their loved one's side.  Educate and compensate
visionaries of a new world. Do not hesitate, but make haste to
unfurl A tabula rasa engraved with messages of pearls Hidden in
the ocean, but longing to be murals.  Submitted: Monday,
