Never Again the burning times

Never again the burning times
Never again the pain,
Never again the dark times
Never again to be maim.
Blinded by religious fervor
Giulty for being free
Sought out by your endeavor
Punish those like me
Violence against the unchristian kind
Bringing trial through Ordeal
Your religion closed your mind
Hunting those down with zeal.
They had to hide themselves in lies
Afraid to show truth
In shadows hidden from christian eyes
Only time to soothe
They tried to live in peaceful ways
Out of christian sight
Living in those perilous days
Considered to be blight.
Never again the burning times
Never again the pain
Never again the dark times
I won’t let it happen again.

This is a poem that  I  wrote a couple years ago. With  Michelle Bachmann starting muslim witch  hunts, I  felt the need to  share it.
