Arabic spoken in Al-andalus

after 400 years of the inquisition.

Muslim houses in Bosnian villages

with crosses on display

despite the threat of apostacy.

 

"And slay them wherever ye find them."

 

morning fresh as the one –

the Buddha knew –

the flowers of the valley

the grasses of the plain

the body, a holy place again

eyes shine with the unbidden light of heaven

and nothing, nothing shall remain.

The future aligned with heavenly ways,

And on inauspicious days,

with no quarter offered, or taken,

Riot, lobby, accuse, condemn,

the 'faithful' seek the blood of men.

shake off these shades of numerology 

live without angels

die as men.....
