The Unknown Road

We fear the unknown and what we can not see,
She could be as innocent as you and me,
What is under the veil and the black robe?
Do we have the right to probe?

It is a minority group that spreads the disease of fear,
And strips us of those we love and hold dear.
Their bombs and explosions rip things apart,
To trust in them where do we start?

Politicians shuffle their decks and negotiate,
Religious leaders try to stem the fear and hate,
But is it really for the good of people in the land,
Or should we all begin to make a stand.

When will it end, will it ever stop,
Will we ever learn when will the coin drop?
Will we ever live together in peace and harmony?
Or continue down the pathway of greed and money.
