Poor Abraham Poem by Kevin Patrick II
Poor Abraham
Lately, I have been keeping
My copy of the Torah
next to my copy
of Mein Kampf
as one mans struggle
has become a nations goal
As all the cries of the faithful
Lay under a butchers red thumb
Did we trade the thousand year Reich
For a no mans land of paradise?
Who are Gods true children?
To command such genocide?
Poor Abraham lies
in the graveyard of fireflies
I like this political poem. A powerful and brilliant write. It is a fierce lament about the tragedy of moral corruption. When a nation uses its historical trauma to justify the destruction of others, it kills the very ancestry that it upholds to defend.

Very provocative, raw, incisive, and deeply political poem that depicts violence and weaponization of religious identity.
