The Flame Within( A poem on religious intolerance)

THE FLAME WITHIN
(Inspired by the Riots in Sweden)
Their minds are blinded by the bars of rage,
Intolerance, indignance, and ire their cage,
Wherefore come these torchbearers of death?
On peace they playfully lay the wreath!

Countless lives lost;
The warmth turned to frost;
Their hunger not sated,
The fire not bated!

Hands drowned in blood of their own kith and kin,
Hearts gooey mass for the flame within;
As Kinney put―proof of human sin,
Die! Die! O, Flame within!
