Blood In The Sand Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Blood in the Sand
There is a war in the Middle East people against people in
the name of Islam, chop heads of one another like it should
be a sporting prowess and then holler Allah.
I'm sick and tired of these people who have mindsets that
are 300 years behind us how can we have a sensible talk with
such persons who in the name of their god kill anyone, mostly for reasons, one has to have a 300 years old mind to
understand how they can accept their blood thirst done in
the name of an abstract god. And then there is betrayal
they are forever betraying each other to the enemy.
But it wasn't always thus and we
must accept we have made it worse. Yet there are Jordanians,
Palestinians, Syrians, Persians and Arab -Israeli (the Jews and
Christians not) too who are not like the cruel of sword swinging
Muslims we read about, they are the people who can bring
the unrestrained, wild -eyed backward people to book because
I'm exhausted of defending the indefensible.
