Beautiful smiles
adorn the faces here.
Smiles that mask the
devious designs
in spiteful eyes.
*
Caustic tongues and
razor-sharp hands,
from behind the veil
of sweet words,
inflict deep gashes,
send furrows of pain
down arched, bent spines
and tender hearts,
wounds, which are but
gaping blue mouths
rotting with the toxic hatred
from humans of a different faith.
*
Maybe it’s time
to peel away the layers,
to shed the masks
when faiths begin to ordain
abhorrence for others.
*
It’s time
To unlearn the unholy diktat,
relearn compassion and love,
to heal the inner self.
