'Satanic Verses'...Who Remembers? Poem by elysabeth faslund

'Satanic Verses'...Who Remembers?

Rating: 5.0


And when he quoted from the Quran,
did he remember Salmun Rushdie...
did he remember Lockerby...Pan Am...
did he remember the Ayatollah Komeini...
did he quote the 'Satanic Verses',
or did he quote reality...
Who'll stop the rain, this time around?

And will he quote the Great Father's words,
or leave them to the Hopi desert...
Will he quote the Bhagavad Gita in India,
or Chinese military proverbs...
Will he quote Taoist 'steps' to North Korea,
or will he still quote the Quran...
Who'll stop the rain, this time around?
