After seeing the film 'Black Friday' which is very very long, i got quite shaken up. Poems came to my rescue. The film is exceedingly violent (and ultimately depressing) and is mostly a comment on the way most religious divides are initiated either for personal or political gains. It is commendable the way they have tried to justify the quote of Gandhi:
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
Shattered glass:
We shattered humanity in the name of god.
Broken pieces:
We stole humanity
in the name of humanity.
Pools of blood-
Horrors of betrayal-
Brothers turned enemies again,
Justice turned injustice again,
Where are we to go now?
Is this the will of god?
or have we
betrayed ourselves
Broken pieces:

Broken trusts.
Broken hearts.
Broken memories.
Broken souls.
All at once,
Broken bodies
seem a just a trifle.
---
The never ending trail of darkness,
engulfs us:
as we go deeper and deeper.
People forgotten.
Memories forgotten.
Love forgotten.
As we lead ourselves into complacency
All is there,
Broken trusts.
Broken hearts.
Broken memories.
Broken souls.
All at once,
Broken bodies
seem a just a trifle.

The never ending trail of darkness,
engulfs us:
as we go deeper and deeper.
People forgotten.
Memories forgotten.
Love forgotten.
As we lead ourselves into complacency
All is there,
but light.
