War
I always hear religion starts wars.
Is it religion or religious zealots that start wars?
People fight over God like he is a piece of property.
My God is the only true God and he belongs to me.
My God is better than your God
because I believe in my God.
I find it a shame
because truth be told the God is the same
just called by a different name.
So I ask “Why the fight
over who is wrong or right?”
