Sharia Law Learned Not: Compassion Mercy Equal Poem by Terence George Craddock

in Sharia Law a poor man who steals
to feed his starving children caught
is a thief we can cut off his right hand;

lawbreaker rich injuries kills in immunity
lawbreaker rich men paid blood money
a small pittance in princely wealth excess;

to cover their guilt paid; pardoned excessive sins
paid to bleeding weeping victim poor families
long past elite rich literate men wrote Sharia Law;

did write in a rich escape; money for immunity law;
is this a violation of the true laws given by Allah
is it not written Allah the Compassionate;

is it not written Allah the most Merciful the Just One;

rich blood money; exemption is pitiless cruel;
kindhearted people are found in all countries
rare kind pure hearted are exceptional souls;

these gem rare individuals give humanity hope;
