from my ear to your ear
\nfrom whom given the right
\nto dominate the space of sound
\ncan i set off firecrackers
\nfive times a day every day
\nwithout losing my head to a lop?
\nor does it only din in my ears
\nbecause God has enemies:
\npuffed up orators in public squares
\npontificating profits
\nfor an unholy grail?
\nrailing for centuries
\nwarring the “infidels”<\/p>\n
we are muezzins here us roar
\nin tenor too loud to ignore
\nbrother denying brother
\nNo Good God Would Cotton
\nendless bloody brotherhood
\nor first born sacrifices
\n“No passing Go, directly,
\noff to prison you must,
\ndear Abraham, dear Sarah!”<\/p>\n
There stands two-headed minotaur
\none head Bush the other Osama
\none clawed foot grasping America
\none clawed foot grasping Arab land
\nrivers running bloody red<\/p>\n
We are in this hell-on-earth together
\nhaving done onto us
\nas we have done onto others
\nWill the real spiritual leader stand up
\nand remind all those “religious” ites
\n“Vengeance is Mine,” sayeth
\nthe Lord. (Not yours!
\nNot mine! Not theirs!)<\/p>\n
