THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD: a monchielle

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD: a monchielle


There is only one god,
But with various names,
Be it Allah or Lord.
But, to fight in his name,
Mankind can ill afford.

There is only one god,
But men forget this fact,
That all are His children.
Man thus perpetuates,
The religious cauldron.

There is only one god,
Who is omnipresent.
Yet, man wants that in all
Temples, churches and mosques,
He should his god install.

There is only one god,
Who, we must not forget,
Made man in His image.
Why should His images,
In His name so pillage?



• A monchielle is a 4 stanza poem of 5 lines each, 6 syllables to a line. The opening line of each stanza repeats itself. The remaining four lines follow a stanza specific abcb rhyme scheme.
