This Poem Became A Bomb In Pakistan Poem by Roger Gerald Hicks

Al-Quaida recruited it
to murder Obama
The plot: this poem in a book
that explodes when
Mr. Prez cracks the cover.

The poem didn't always
crave being a terrorist
it just wanted to do
something important-
something earth-shaking.

This poem isn't really a
racist, it's the money.
It's mother needs an
operation; the family
lost all their savings
in the crash of '08
and the poem has
never learned a trade
or gotten a degree.

Arabs promise
the poem 100 virgin
pages, so it can
multiply in heaven.

The poem has started
smoking hash-
it's only pleasure
in the dark cave
where it's training.

Arabs joke:
"that poem not only is
a bomb- God willing-
it is bombed. Ha, ha."
