Some religions recommend
Their followers should just defend
Their own beliefs when they’re attached,
By proclaiming every fact
So others know what they believe,
And thereby hope they can achieve
An understanding which will draw
Those people to discover more.
Though they’re certain they are right
They do not see the need to fight
Or use brutality to force
Other people to endorse
Their way of life and faith in God,
To them compulsion would seem odd.
Some other faiths think differently,
As everyone today can see,
As every type of force is used,
With people murdered and abused
Appalling, to make them change
And their historic faith exchange
For something which they can’t accept,
An alien culture which has swept
Though their land and tried to force
All other groups to change their course,
For they see their sacred role
Is working for their final goal
Which by violence they’ll achieve
Of making all the world believe
In the precepts they proclaim,
For world conversion is their aim.
