left abandoned with no choice
before I commit my agreement
they brutally choked my voice
endorsing views crudely opponent;
conflict of faiths often transgresses reason
listening to heart not head goes saying
embroiled with moral wanton
all busy in pursuits demeaning;
free us from darkness, humanity crying
believers forsaken all resentment
fanatics bear conscience dissipating
only blessed souls precede entrapment.
