American Taliban: Latitude And Attitude Poem by Atef Ayadi

the same latitude
the same attitude

more north, Colorado and Waziristan

more south, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana,
Texas, Iran, Irak

opium,
Cash in Cash out,

strategic war,
word for word,
verse for verse,
Bible against Koran,

While other abuse zen.

Kids are killed in between,
other jailed or tortured,
the remains are reading the old holy books
waiting to be recruited in the right time
same thing
same old time
shaved, dress, and clean, or with long beard.
.


it is the 21 first century,
for the planet sake

stop
the low self-esteem
and being programmed
like a robot.
