On extremists.

Faith might ease some suffering
But religion cannot rule
Extreme and harsh
the policies
of self-righteous fools

Universal consciousness
Codes of humanity
Now warped and twisted
tools for those
to gain the power they seek

Oppression, pain, and body-count
the causes justified
Blind followers
don't question
centuries of lies

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
