Sword Wielded Justice Cutting Edges Poem by Terence George Craddock

dust time flash forward past is still sword wielded
observe thief hand a piece of meat upon crime block
observe cruel cut bones visible in wrist severed hand;

injustice not justice blood screams up to heaven
interpretations imposing Sharia law now are different
sentences vary between differing rival Islamic sects;

observe immutable respective schools of jurisprudence
in merciless strictest historically coherent definition
Sharia is tradition considered an infallible law of Allah;

disobeying names Allah the Compassionate, Allah the Merciful;
