Lend me your ears as I feel like I need to say something
And though it's not for me to defend my faith
Could you please focus on the many who come in peace
Not those few that breed fear, panic and hate

Do not allow these impostors to narrow your thoughts
As there will be less room for you to find
That this level of violence has nothing to do with religion
But rather a brainwashed and vulnerable mind

This is not the message the Messenger sent
This is a misinterpretation of the truth
That disgusts me and my sisters and brothers
Just as much as it disgusts each one of you


Lend me your eyes as I feel like I need to do something
And speak out even if you wont listen
Perhaps your mind has already been too polluted
By the terror on the walls of your minds prison

Take a moment to look at those bars that surround you
They are cast in steel made from anxious thoughts
You worry that you and yours might be next to suffer
So you will remain in that cell you were caught

This is not the message the Messenger sent
This is a misinterpretation of the truth
That disgusts me and my sisters and brothers
Just as much as it disgusts each one of you


Lend me your heart as I feel like I need to tell you something
Rather than listen to second hand words
Why don't you go to the source of your sleepless nights
And with a truly open mind read each verse

Then when you wake from your slumber come and tell me
If in its pages you find a reason to blame
Or if you're as repulsed as me, my sisters and brothers
That these people do these deeds in His name

This is not the message the Messenger sent
This is a misinterpretation of the truth
That disgusts me and my sisters and brothers
Just as much as it disgusts each one of you

So true yet so sad but too many people can't even think of what's really important ... Beleives, religions are only one between so many other ways to be caged ! For me the only truth that remains when you think of it seriously is this : Every human being experiments fear, hate, hope, and love ! But one can understand that it really matters only when he looked into the eyes of someone dying, saying I love and I'll never forget ! Only then, everybody's become the same, because all that remains are deep feelings !
