Obsessed

autumn

They belittle religion.
Constantly poke at beliefs.
Does this empower them?
Or are they tormented?

Frequently finding fault.
Persistent in their quest.
To lash out constantly.
It is disturbing; unhealthy.

Why this compelling attitude?
This concern in meddling.
Such interest in tormenting.
Like a plague is this focus.

Does hate make one blinded?
Short-comings to be taunted.
Consumed with belittling.
What of one’s own beliefs?

Are we judge and jury?
This right to post insults.
A desire to torment.
Let another to stumble.

A stumbling block, don’t.
That leads another into sin.
A plague, being obsessed.
Actions that encourage sin.

To poke fun at a religion.
Why this obsession?
If you don’t believe,
why the need to be obsessed?
