Zealot

by

Richard Betts Jr.

Your fervor leads me to believe
That your views are a bit extreme.

I am saddened by the look in your eyes,
As you stand for all you say you despise.

You hide your hate and bigotry,
Behind the shroud of religious ideology.

Fear masquerading as love,
Is as the hunter killing the dove.

Hate cloaked in the guise of religion,
Is like the hawk stalking the pigeon.

If your conviction is strong, try not to sell it,
The way you market your morality, makes you look like a zealot.

Why don't you look at You Are Wrong
