BOMBING IRAQ

BOMBING IRAQ


I want to soar high in sky,
Far away from the world,
Where people fight needlessly
For what is just a word.

Is it Allah or Yahweh?
Is it the Lord or Christ?
Each believer says that his
God has the real might.

Let me soar high in the sky
And pray this to the God:
“Kindly put an end to this
Pernicious human fraud”.

In the past Jihads, crusades
Really have been caused
By nothing else than man- made
Selfish religious fraud.

In the present, Bush confessed,
Quite openly, when asked:
“I have been, by Lord Himself,
For bombing Iraq tasked”.

Can God, creator of all,
Ever ask His children
To kill brothers, calling them
Non-believers, heathen?
