Heads to be chopped off

A poetic problem given by Sri Dhanikonda Raviprasad on Facebook translates to

Heads should be chopped off
As scribes unite in this noble task

--

Over centuries Faiths sprung on Earth
Fulfilling unspoken needs of the populace
At times of moral vacuum, from the dearth
Arose Seers populating spiritual pathways

Each with their own mantras and liturgies
Diverse means leading to the same blissful end
Varied rites of passage, dispensing peace
Rays of hope for those on the inner mend

Deviant scribes that seek a gainful standoff
Awoke too, piety their garb, solemnity a mask
pens of such boneheads should be chopped off
As writers all around unite in a noble task

Teaching the world to live and to let live
From virtues we learn and the follies, forgive
