The Unanswered Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The Unanswered



A mass murderer
Should there be room for pity
A crime so awful
Yet he was born an infant
Innocent eyes seeing the world

Forgive our hatred
If we have not the power
To forgive his sins
Forever we see him as a ghost
An echo of forbidden thoughts

From all minarets
The cry of one rightful god
A dominant faith
Too much for a godless land
Can we defy its command?
