I watch the TV news in distress:
The image of that scene
haunts me
relentlessly,
ceaselessly
The Israelis have just bombed part of the Gaza strip
An empty shell of a mosque totters below
Exposing the faithful praying inside it
They are so completely absorbed in their faith in God
that they don't notice a second Israel jet
circling menacingly overhead
or, that the streets around them have emptied in a hurry
God, what words of comfort do you have for them.... your faithful servants
-They follow you so blindly
No matter what ill befalls them....?
Are you listening?
Speak...!
Speak up!
I warrant you.....!
YOU
Magnificent
Beneficent
and Merciful
YOU! ? !
