FEAR

I read your comments

I see your fears

Irrational to those you hate

Rational from you

Fear is a powerful tool

In the hands of the ignorant

The blind leading the blind

Down the path of hate

Will it all end with a big boom

Or will it end with acceptance

My worst fears is bloodshed

In the name of God

Yet God would never accept us

Killing one another

Over the word

I tend to align with perceiving fear to be intimately intertwined with hate and bloodshed. I am curious to know how the first four lines relate to the remainder of the poem, as it seems to me there is not enough context for them to be beyond a mystery. Regardless, thank you for crafting and sharing, I wish you peace.

Yes, a good question for our times, perhaps all of human history. Will it ever end? Will God put an end to it in some way? Or someone use a nuke? Excellent writing.
