Mmmm... Perhaps Lucy has a possible acrostic in mind? I've tried a blank verse solution.

PARTICULAR TRUTH

Can it be shown, by textual research,
how faithful scribes can count themselves Shia
and others, no less faithful, claim Sunni
is true, while both, none other entertain
nor contemplate mere moderation? Their
reason’s flailed by words of holy writ, whose
every phrase condemns as mens rea,
all free-made choice scorned by faith’s polemic.
Christian nor Muslim can abide a wit,
that hallowed phrases wont yield as foci,
in which to fry the human status quo.
Outside of faith's word readers - no question,
none - we know that truth’s not sub-syllabic!
